These frontier models are now good enough that they can assist heavily with new optimizations for future models, including, code them. Restricting their usage to a few companies takes away that advantage away from other companies, thereby, limiting new vendors from competing with OpenAI.

wait, are you saying a competitor needs access to an OpenAI model in order to build a competing model?

I agree with your point, but to play devils advocate: doesn't a competitor arguably need access to these beyond-frontier models to even become an effective competitor to OpenAI and Anthropic?

"Assisting", not "one-shotting", a better model.

Nothing new in that. Everyone pays to someone or the other to make their own product/life better. Most of the times these products do not compete, sometimes, they do.

How many times you believe duckduckgo would have google'd stuff just to create a competitor to Google itself? I believe thousands of times.. could be more.

OpenAI cannot claim the code their models produce as their own since their own models used codes from public internet during training to produce new code.

That’s incoherent.

Do you have any sources for the claim that LLMs meaningfully help in the production of LLMs?

Read Anthropic's own blog post released sometime around last week.

Do you have a source that isn't known for consistently over-stating their model's capabilities?

Common sense? Each model iteration is clearly more capable than the last and at this point the benefit to researchers of all stripes is self evident.

You do realize this statement about "overstating model capabilities" has nothing to do with AI assisted AI development, right?

It absolutely does. Because 'AI-assisted AI development' is one of the claimed but not verified capabilities.

You could produce a completely fcked up model using AI, and also a completely awesome one using AI. So, the "overstating capabilities" part really have nothing to do with this discussion.

As for the claim part around AI being used to assist further AI development, I have already told to read Anthropic's blog post. You can take help from chatgpt, if needed.
