The early days of artificial intelligence research had a community feel — to openly share ideas, and work together to improve technologies. But for some, especially hardware makers, handing over control of AI to a few wealthy tech companies is bad for business.

Besides OpenAI, tech giants Google, Facebook, and Nvidia are developing their own Large Language Models and deploying them to hardware.
