Reply to comment by professorlust in [D] What do people think about OpenAI not releasing its research but benefiting from others’ research? Should google meta enforce its patents against them? by [deleted]

How many companies could realistically replicate their results though? We already have a pretty good idea of what's going on under the hood, but would knowing the intricacies of GPT-4 help anyone smaller than Google?

The argument from a research perspective is that scale isn’t likely the Holy Grail.

It’s undoubtedly important, yes.

BUT for a researcher, the quest is to determine how important scale truly is AND how to determine ways that help reduce dependence on scale.
