Google is hardly a good actor here. They just announced Gemini 1.5 along with a "technical report" [1] whose entire description of the model architecture is: "Gemini 1.5 Pro is a sparse mixture-of-expert (MoE) Transformer-based model". Followed by a list of papers that it "builds on", followed by a definition of MoE. I suppose that's more than OpenAI gave in their GPT-4 technical report. But not by much!

The report and the previous one for 1.0 definitely contain much more information than the GPT-4 whitepaper. And Google regularly publishes technical details on other models, like Lumiere, things that OpenAI stopped doing after their InstructGPT paper.

Maybe because GPT3.5 is closer to what Gemini 1.0 was... GPT4 and Gemini 1.5 are similarly sparse in their "how we did it and what we used" when it comes to papers
