Open access for a fee? Yes.

The original point of openAI was to make sure google and facebook don't completely dominate AI and keep their work hidden due to the innovator's dilemma they face. Seems like they've absolutely accomplished that. Yes, they've stretched the meaning of "open" but I don't think they've ever tried to claim they had some sort of open source aspirations.

OpenAI = Microsoft, which you have conveniently left out in your FAANG enumeration

Because Microsoft was in no way a leader in AI research when openAI was founded. But the important part here isn't keeping AI work from being dominated by big tech. It's to keep it from being hidden from the public by big tech.

Google and Facebook have long had language models that have been reported to be vastly superior to what was publicly available. The one that a Google engineer claimed was sentient was the most well known example. OpenAI was founded in reaction to these models being hidden away.

OpenAI was founded in 2015, well before those models were created.

They claimed a lot of things. Open source, non-profit. Then they changed their minds on all of them.

As for open access, that's usually defined as free of charge. E.g open access journals.

It's sort of like how Uber dropped the pseudo-green 'ride-sharing' language from its marketing as soon as they had enough investor $ and brand recognition to cut out taxis with predatory pricing.
