I’m not sure why this is so surprising? AI company does not automatically mean research company. The vast majority of new startups popping up over the last few years have commercial motivations, and use models built by someone else. Why are you expecting them to publish scientific papers?
50% of startups contributing to public research is actually a crazy good outcome. That’s far more than I had expected.
Also the reason we fund science publicly is because we can't count on the incentives from the free market. I mean why would they share information with competitors?
When the second biggest player is named 'OpenAI', I would expect some papers to be published.
OpenAI and Anthropic are identified in the article and study as top publishers of AI research papers.
