- echelon 3mo agoThey literally would have kept the entire thing to themselves and never productized it. Think about how much investment capital and human capital OpenAI poured onto this by having their big "hello world" with ChatGPT.

They also had a productionized LLM in search (known as 'mums') before the whole "AI Chatbot" craze. They also had a chat-tuned LLM chatbot (LaMDA) in testing internally. It was shown off over a year before ChatGPT was created (2021)... and later released as an app (AI test kitchen) before ChatGPT was announced. ChatGPT may have been the big industry moment, but Google was releasing LLMs to production before OpenAI.
