OpenAI somehow managed to do a release worldwide.

A startup doesn't have the same target of its back as a large publicly traded corporation. It also has a different culture and is expected to take risks that non-startups aren't. In other words, not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Edit: grammar.

  • Far more likely answer: OpenAI isn't interested in withholding a product to play political cards.

  • I think this is more related to american-centrism of Google - it is in their other products - e.g. Pixel phones restrict certain features to US.

    So was Stadia - restricted to US at the beginning.

    Also their are very slow at adding non-English languages to their offering.

OpenAI isn’t a monopolistic behemoth like Google with a cash cow to protect. Google attracts far more attention and has a lot more to lose.

But Anthropic still isn't available here. We will see what happens to Mistral (paris, $2B valuation !)

by not having lawyers and believing they did nothing wrong.

you typically see brazen behavior from ignorance.
