1) Microsoft licenses openai models (including gpt-4) through azure now with no waitlist at all. There is simply no truth to the idea that as a company you have no access to the model. You have to pay, but if your business model depends on some model and you can’t afford to pay then you probably don’t have a viable business model. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-gpt4-in-a...
2) If you think OpenAI have some kind of duty to provide equal access to all businesses, could you please explain where you think that duty comes from? I don’t understand the legal theory here.
> Devs, while you are waiting for access right now, over 70 YC companies from the latest W23 batch are ‘AI companies.’ These companies will get access to OpenAI’s GPT and API while you are still waiting. The game is rigged;
That's right folks. You were all sitting on a 'waitlist' still 'waiting' for godot (O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com) to give you access and the YC mafia got immediate access ahead of you months ago.
Even when open source AI continues to catch up with hosted-only models; O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com attempts to use the might of regulatory capture to wipe open-source models and place in 'regulations' that benefit them; because it is a threat to their business as they have no moat. It is a simple as that.
Henceforth, O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com is not for you and YC with Microsoft is essentially scamming all of open source.
