An internal Google communication that recently became public hints at an unexpected twist in the competition for supremacy in generative AI. In this note, a Google AI specialist expressed: „In the generative AI race, it seems that we might not be the frontrunners, and neither is OpenAI. Amid our race, a dark horse has stealthily snuck in and claimed our prize.“ So, who is this elusive third player? Could it be Amazon Web Services (AWS), IBM, or Baidu? Surprisingly, none of the above. It’s the open-source community.

    The OpenAI guy (sam Friedman or Altman??) also expressed this a couple months ago if I’m not mistaken. The stakes for them are much higher and they have to be way more careful about what they release. Glory to FOSS!
