Didn't Google invent LLMs and didn't Google have an internal LLm with similar capabilities long before openai released the gpts? Remember when that guy got fired for making a claim it was conscious ?
The look isn't good. But it's not dishonest.
No this is not correct. Arguably OpenAI invented LLMs with GPT3 and the preceding scaling laws paper. I worked on LAMDA, it came after GPT4 and was not as capable. Google did invent the transformer, but all the authors of the paper have left since.
This is like the Ship of Theseus. If all transformer authors reunited under one startup rival of Google, who would have the bragging rights?
Noam.
Isn't a transformer an LLM?
No. You’re confused. Most LLMs in production today use transformers under the hood but a transformer is most certainly not a type of LLM.
