    Ignoring for the moment issues of what "counts" as open, won't open models rapidly advance due to stuff like this in ways that it's less possible for the proprietary ones to do? This is exactly how Linux & Wikipedia, for example, overtook their "frontiers", right?

      Won't the "frontier" labs figure out whatever techniques were used and apply them to their closed models?

        The lock-in is less pronounced as it is with AWS or MS.

        Like how the last 2 decades of tech companies are thinly veiled open source pilfering into business units.

          "Oh darn, you know that thing I made and released with explicit, precise language defining who can use it and what, if any, restrictions apply? Well now someone is using it in complete accordance with those conditions I set out, and that's somehow making me upset"
