Attention mechanism co-author Dzmitry Bahdanau says Anthropic's recent decisions make OpenAI look open by comparison

@xwang_lk openai hasn’t released much in years but it’s an interesting point.

@xwang_lk Still He thinks He is him

@xwang_lk the GPT-OSS models are also fairly decent

If you really think about it, despite being mocked as “ClosedAI,” OpenAI has contributed enormously to the field: GPT, GPT-2, GPT-3, CLIP, the ChatGPT paper, the GPT-4 Technical Report, the Sora technical blog, and even open-sourced Codex.

Anthropic, meanwhile, has contributed far less to the public research ecosystem while increasingly promoting fear-based narratives and restricting access through heavy gatekeeping.

The world I least want to live in is one where the future of AI is controlled by companies that prioritize secrecy, gated access, and centralized control over openness, reproducibility, and scientific progress.

@xwang_lk or maybe, they are good people, and know there are people who won't do correct things, and take it upon themselves? there is no 'what anthropic is doing is good or bad'. it's simply: they are good, what they are doing makes sense. they are bad, what they are doing is dystopian.

@GaryMarcus Yes, but I think they started to release a little bit more since last year, such as gpt-oss and codex.

@ezyrider @Jesse_Livermore it is A* who pretends and claims to be the "responsible" AI company

@PMinervini yeah, they are! and DALLE.

@xwang_lk The fact people act as if Anthropic are the good guys in this is laughable. If you're worried about centralization of power and wealth inequality, what do you think will happen by making the most powerful lever in the world only made accessible to Anthropic's friends?

@LiveMatrixCode @ezyrider @Jesse_Livermore I was too scared to … wait, read the original post maybe?

We call them A and OAI for simplicity. Don’t overthink.

@xwang_lk Whisper alone was a huge game changer.

Not to mention MRC which flew under most people's radar but is a billion-dollar date center optimization protocol they open sourced:

@xwang_lk @Jesse_Livermore Everyone is in it to make money. Let’s not pretend.

@xwang_lk well, they aren’t gonna get medal for openness, but ok :)

@xwang_lk Openai has contributed To ai by releasing usable products and not gaslighting the public nearly as much as the other clown on stage

@xwang_lk Anthropic is literally ex openai employees that wanted to be filthy rich. They are nothing more than ex employees that stole company secrets.

@xwang_lk Don't forget Whisper (their speech-to-text model, still widely used) and Privacy Filter, their model to mask personally identifiable information (PII) in text - https://openai.com/index/introducing-openai-privacy-filter/

@GaryMarcus certainly not. ;D

@papasmurfffs @hsu_byron has made 10+ SGLang PRs since joining Periodic

@xwang_lk Not so sure that OpenAI are the good guys either.

Just open source everything

@xwang_lk Sam Altman just wants to be a baller, I’m ok with that. Anthropic is way sus.
