[–] hnryjmes 5y ago ↗ What's stopping Microsoft buying OpenAI like Google (Alphabet) bought DeepMind? [–] Aeronwen 5y ago ↗ Microsoft wouldn't make back the purchase price doing anything with OpenAI's IP that they can't do now. [–] pen2l 5y ago ↗ It would be a damn valuable acqui-hire though. I think the deepmind-acquisition comparison grandparent post makes is very apt. [–] marvin 5y ago ↗ OpenAI's board of directors, I'd say. Becoming a subsidiary to Microsoft compromises their mission.

[–] SheinhardtWigCo 5y ago ↗ How is this “exclusive” if the API remains available? [–] AJRF 5y ago ↗ It won't be on AWS or GCP. That's pretty important to businesses already using cloud and wanting to "add AI" to their product offerings.

[–] hendler 5y ago ↗ Will there be an open source alternative?Huggingface or an academic effort could also improve the efficiency of few/one shot learning, or simply a crowdsourced model build seems within reach.I guess to run the model you need a large machine too.
