    OpenAI is used for two companies under one umbrella - OpenAI a non-profit and OpenAI a for profit companies. Basically OpenAI non-profit does research and published it publicly, then OpenAI for profit adds bells and whistles and sells it to recoup costs.

            I thought we were talking about the word “open”. They don’t call themselves OpenSourceAI.

            Not that I agree with them using the word “open” in their name, but it doesn’t seem as unjustified as you’re making it out to be.

            Aux explained the reasoning though, and it sounds like it has kinda works given that there are (I believe) a number of alternative LLMs.

            I do agree it is somewhat misleading though.

            The post’s question was why do these companies use ‘open’ in their names. So, we aren’t actually talking about open in the case of open-source. We’re actually talking about why the companies have ‘open’ in their names.

        They do publish some open source software like Whisper TTS. Their core products are all proprietary though.
