What's stopping Microsoft buying OpenAI like Google (Alphabet) bought DeepMind?

Microsoft wouldn't make back the purchase price doing anything with OpenAI's IP that they can't do now.

It would be a damn valuable acqui-hire though. I think the deepmind-acquisition comparison grandparent post makes is very apt.

Will there be an open source alternative?

Huggingface or an academic effort could also improve the efficiency of few/one shot learning, or simply a crowdsourced model build seems within reach.

I guess to run the model you need a large machine too.
