It's all made from our data, anyway, so it should be ours to use as we want

I don't think it should be a "punishment." It should be done on principal.

Not sure making their LLMs public domain would really hurt their principal, their secret sauce is in the code around the model.

And yes, I do recognize that you meant "principle".

That's not true though. The models themselves are hella intensive to train. We already have open source programs to run LLMs at home, but they are limited to smaller open-weights models. Having a full ChatGPT model that can be run by any service provider or home server enthusiast would be a boon. It would certainly make my research more effective.

We already have multiple trained models, here are a bunch. The model isn't nearly as interesting as what you do with it.

I know, I have used them. It's actually my job to do research with those kinds of models. They aren't nearly as powerful as current OpenAI's GPT-4o or their latest models.
