I’m not sure why this is so surprising? AI company does not automatically mean research company. The vast majority of new startups popping up over the last few years have commercial motivations, and use models built by someone else. Why are you expecting them to publish scientific papers?
50% of startups contributing to public research is actually a crazy good outcome. That’s far more than I had expected.
- HDBaseT 3mo agoWhen the second biggest player is named 'OpenAI', I would expect some papers to be published.
- antonvs 3mo agoOpenAI and Anthropic are identified in the article and study as top publishers of AI research papers.
- _0ffh 3mo agoI don't see that, where do you read that? Also, what kind of papers do they publish at all? When I look at the recently (say, last 1-2 years) published practical improvements in the LM space, they're not even close to what the Chinese are publishing.
- saidnooneever 3mo agothat name implies nothing. it did when it started and promptly pivoted away from that meaning once money got involved...
- DonsDiscountGas 3mo agoAlso the reason we fund science publicly is because we can't count on the incentives from the free market. I mean why would they share information with competitors?
- saidnooneever 3mo agoin most fields its normal for research to become IP rather than papers to keep competitive edge. so this seems really normal stuff tbh... also, first people complain that only AI companies publish on AI, and now they complain the same companies stop those same publications :'). it is never good.
