They took funding as an open source non profit. Once they got the money they turned into a closed sourced for-profit censorship machine.

Yeah, but to be fair GPT 2 is open source and Whisper (a high-quality speech recognition and multilingual translation model) is also open source. A few years ago I needed a good model for transcription for a project and I couldn’t find anything decent. They really have contributed to the open source community.

If they keep releasing older models and keep their cutting-edge technology for profit I’m fine with it.
