    My bet is on Google or Anthropic filling the void. This space is moving fast and Altman’s new devision will already be several years behind.

      Except Bard sucks and was notably inferior to ChatGPT. Altman brought over a huge chunk of OpenAI employees, it isn’t like they’re starting over completely from scratch.

        Mostly starting over code wise.

        I’ve had to rebuild a thing or two in my day, and building it the second time is always faster, but still, you’ve got to write all the crap over again.

        This will undoubtedly be way faster than doing a startup from scratch, but they’re literally starting from a position of having no code checked in at all.

          That and re-training the models once the code is rewritten. Presumably MS doesn’t have access to the same training sets (they almost certainly have their own, but we don’t know the breadth or quality by comparison to OpenAIs data sets)
