The problem is Anthropic doesn't have the compute to deploy this model to scale to everyone yet. Dario didn't believe that they needed as much compute, OpenAI is going to have much more compute unlocked this year and especially next year.
Great to see they were able to spin their lack of resources and money losing business model into an abundance of benevolence and concern for the proletariat.
There is obviously tons of leeway it who gets to say what is "AGI", and so far it seems like OpenAI's charter isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I still find it funny that Altman and Amodei couldn't even bring themselves to hold hands at that AI summit, https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1r8ua2j/sam_altma... , so I'm getting a chuckle at the thought that Altman would be like "Whelp, close er up, boys, Amodei won, so time to merge..."
As we all well know this message is great when there one or two private providers that can kick you from an entire market with no way of challenging them.
There’s a whole lot of traffic they are servicing that comes at a cost with no revenue in return. Why would you choose to forgo potential revenue for this?
