The bit about plugins not having PMF is interesting and possibly flawed. I, like many others, got access to plugins but not the browsing or code interpreter plugins which feel like the bedrock plugins that make the whole offering useful. I think there's also just education that has to happen to teach users how to effectively use other plugins, and the UX isn't really there to help new users figure out what to even do with plugins.

Great content and great answers except for open source question. Sam is saying that he doesn’t think anyone would be able to run the code at scale so they didn’t bother? Seems like a nonsense answer, maybe I’m misunderstanding. The ability for individuals or businesses to effectively run and host the code shouldn’t have an impact on the ability to open source.

I never know if I have an inside scoop or an outside scoop. Has Hyena not addressed the scaling of context length [1]? I know this version is barely a month old but it was shared to me by a non-engineer the week it came out. Still, giving interviews where the person takes away that the main limitation is context length and requires a big breakthrough that already happened makes me seriously question whether or not he…

Having been recently taken aboard by the mothership I expect they'll start trying to tune out anything related to programming to push people towards co-pilot X.. It's pretty hilarious and annoying to see bing start to write code only to self censor itself after a few lines (deleting what was there! no wonder these guys love websockets and dynamic histories) Whoops!

Wait… what? Can you elaborate.

> is limited by GPU availability. Which is all the more curious, considering OpenAI said this only in January: > Azure will remain the exclusive cloud provider for all OpenAI workloads across our research, API and products [1] So... OpenAI is severely GPU constrained, it is hampering their ability to execute, onboard customers to existing products and launch products. Yet they signed an agreement not to just go rent…

this has nothing to do with sama clamoring for regulation.

that absolutely isn’t an attempt to slow down all competition.

which isn’t necessary because nobody made such a mistake.

this won’t lead to any hasty or reckless internal decisions in a feckless effort to stay in front.

not that any have already been made.

not that that could lead to disaster.

PMF meaning "product market fit"? I had to look it up, curious if I found the right thing or not.

I love the tongue-in-cheek paradox myth that the Bitcoin whitepaper was written by a future god-AI to increase demand for GPUs (and thus boost supply) so we are able to assemble the future god-AI.

His statements on open sourcing in this interview/write-up is somewhat in conflict with his recent statement made last week in Munich https://youtu.be/uaQZIK9gvNo?t=1170, where he explicitly said the Frontier of GPT won't be open sourced due to what they perceive as safety reasons, https://youtu.be/uaQZIK9gvNo?t=1170 (19:30 - 22:00).

>Dedicated capacity offering is limited by GPU availability. OpenAI also offers dedicated capacity, which provides customers with a private copy of the model. To access this service, customers must be willing to commit to a $100k spend upfront. How many shell corporations are intelligence agencies seeding right now?

Last night I was musing how many different countries' intelligence agencies have moles working at OpenAI currently. Gotta be at least 6, maybe as high as two dozen?
