That should be a wake up call to every corporation pinning their business on OAI models. My experience thus far is no one is seeing a need to plan an exit from OAI, and the perception is “AI is magic and we aren’t magicians.” There needs to be a concerted effort to finance and tune high quality freely available models and tool chains asap.

That said I think efficiencies will dramatically improve over the next few years and over investing now probably captures very little value beyond building internal competency - which doesn’t grow with anything but time and practice. The longer you depend on OAI, the longer you will depend on OAI past your point of profound regret.
