Question

A leaked 2023 memo from a different company proclaimed “We Have No Moat, And Neither Does [this company]” (15[1])in describing the success of open source projects. In 2021, a (15[1])significant number of engineers at this company, including VP of research Dario Amodei, split to form the startup Anthropic. (15[2])This company’s charter states “Our primary fiduciary duty is to humanity”, which might conflict a bit with their 2019 decision to shed their (*) non-profit status and become “capped-profit”, with a 100-fold limit on investors’ returns. Microsoft later invested over 10 billion dollars in this company and worked with them to develop GitHub Copilot. As a probable publicity stunt, this company didn’t release the full model, claiming it would be too dangerous, when they revealed their language model GPT-2. For 10 points, name this competitor to DeepMind co-founded by Sam Altman, whose name is no longer very accurate. ■END■
