#2Suggest changing the title to:
NSF and NVIDIA award Ai2 $152M to support building a fully open AI ecosystem
To better indicate that this is not related to OpenAI and that the group intends to release everything needed to train their models.

#3If Nvidia were interested in "open" AI, they would spend time to collaborate with AMD, etc. to build an (updated) open alternative to CUDA. That's probably the most closed part of the whole stack right now.

#4Maybe that'll help them hire someone who can at least respond to S2 API key requests...
Being open is great, but if over the course of 6 months 3 different entities (including 2 well known universities) apply and send more than a dozen follow ups to 3 different "Reach out to us!" emails with exactly 0 response, the "open" starts sounding like it's coming from Facebook.

That's AMDs fault, not Nvidia's.

Indeed. This is throwing pennies in virtue-signaling openness.

Nvidia is interested in commoditizing their complements. It's a business strategy to decrease the power of OpenAI (for instance).
Nvidia dreams of a world where there are lots of "open" alternatives to OpenAI, like there are lots of open game engines and lots open software in general. All buying closed Nvidia chips.

#8"Open" like an open source FPGA implementation of their chips?

Why is OpenAI a threat to Nvidia? They are still highly dependent on those GPUs

Google shows that Nvidia is not necessary. How long until more follow?
