Maybe you can't download their weights, but you can literally try out their products right from their homepage. What's your point?

  OK, if you prefer: https://web.archive.org/web/20151211215507/https://openai.com/blog/introducing-openai/ https://web.archive.org/web/20151211215507/https://openai.co... It's normal to announce things long before they're actually available to end users. This is not some unique evil of the EU bureaucracy - if anything, it's very corporate of them.

    You just don't get it. When it's announced by the EU, it's red tape PDF crunching soulless bureaucracy wasting our time. When it's said by a glorified CPA of an American unicorn startup it's the vision, innovation and triumph of entrepreneurial spirit.

OpenAI has a real, groundbreaking product. This has... a statement of intent to try to copy that product. Not remotely the same.

  This is about industrial research, not about some product. Members of the project have previously produced both niche and general models, but without the arrogance and bluster of usian corporate subcultures.
