Would they even be able to compete with OpenAI at this point? Even without Greg and Sam they have Ilya, the models they've trained so far, institutional knowledge, datasets and billions from Microsoft. Could OpenAI be at escape velocity anyway to AGI just continuing on the track it's been on?
Microsoft got the models. And their compute infrastructure. They’re powerful enough to bleed openai out if it’s in their interest. I’m not sure if there is much trust between the new leadership and microsoft.
