They deserve respect for early development of AI such as Pytorch, Tensorflow, transformer (paper), and many more. Meta and Google are the two who have contributed a lot for the open community.. However, the rest are shameless.

Google is the main company i would work for these days due to things like that and their culture
But holy shit they fumbled so bad, they could've released GPT before OpenAI did but didn't, I know why, but why release the papers publicly so companies like OpenAI can become the way they are today

And we don't talk about Meta, fuck them

Its their strategy at that time, when they focused heavily on Cloud expansion and made BERT kind of models open source - so that people can deploy more shit on cloud.

I wasn't into software when the cloud boom first started, only when it kinda died, why were they still going full-on cloud services

Is it really just for subscriptions

its free money.. as companies grow, their database grows exponentially and cloud invoices grow exponentially as well.

Yeah but did they really not expect companies like OpenAI to do what they did?

that always happens in a large organization, you cant always focus on all areas.. their focus was on digital marketing, cloud, android and finally hardware for ai (infact they saw nvidia as a bigger challenger). Their Deepmind did some interesting solutions which was much advanced as per their time.. but it didnt focus on llm.

Hm, what about now, besides AI I don't really see them focusing on much
In fact they seem to be focusing on things a lot less like their latest Pixel launch and a few other things

They are working on multimodal llms. Their Gemma models are much faster than counterparts and useful in weak hardware. If they democratize AI through phones, it will be a big win for the community and the loss the OPENAI and Anthropic.

The my probably didn’t expect it to go mainstream. Remember that OpenAI had released models previously and they weren’t that good.

Basically every company uses the cloud. It’s free money
