- misiti3780 2y agoOpenAI will not exist in 5 years, I'm calling it now. First movers to market dont always win, and they will surely lose.
- ipaddr 2y agoGoogle was first mover.
- MadnessASAP 2y agoIn what way? They weren't the first search engine, or advertising on the web?
- ipaddr 2y agoIn terms of ai and OpenAI leapfrogged them
- AlexCoventry 2y agoThe question is what's going to be OpenAI's Adwords.
- paul7986 2y agoYahoo, AOL, Alta Vista (others too) all were search engines on the web before Google's Sept 1998 existence.
- locusofself 2y agoLycos, Metacrawler, Dogpile. The list goes on
- ipaddr 2y agoSure, but we are talking ai and the fact that google was first in this space.
- paul7986 2y agoThe first in what? Not in search nor Generative AI.
- ipaddr 2y agoWhy would you think search. Google wasn't first for search. They were first for page rank Google researchers invented the transformer
- kettleballroll 2y agoWho if not Google was the first in generative ai? They invented transformers and diffusion, the cornerstones of text and image generati, respectively.
- Philpax 2y agoThey weren't the first to meaningfully commercialise either, though. That remains with OpenAI for both (GPT-3/ChatGPT and DALL-E 2).
- msoad 2y agoif your birth year starts with 2, I can see why you might think that
- WiSaGaN 2y agoNot necessarily. DeepSeek will probably only threaten the API usage of OpenAI, which could also be banned in the US if it's too sucessful. API usage is not a main revenue for OpenAI (it is for Anthropic last time I checked). The main competitor for R1 is o1, which isn't gnerally available yet.
- MR4D 2y agoDeepSeek is an open source model. You can download it and run it locally on your laptop already. So any OpenAI user ( or competitor even) could take it and run a hosted model. You can even tweak the weights if you wanted to. Why pay for OpenAI access when you can just run your own and save the money?
- MR4D 2y agoLM Studio version is here: https://lmstudio.ai/model/deepseek-r1-llama-8b https://lmstudio.ai/model/deepseek-r1-llama-8b
- WiSaGaN 2y agoThe one your laptop can run does not rival what OpenAI offers for money. Still, the issue is not whether third party can run it, it's just the OpenAI seems not putting API as their main product.
