Still waiting for the "Open" in OpenAI to become more than branding.

I don’t think OpenAI gets enough credit for exposing GPT via an API. If the tech remained only at Google, I’m sure we would see it embedded into many of their products, but wouldn’t have held my breath for a direct API.

Yeah, for all that people make fun of the "Open" in the name their API-first strategy really did make this stuff available to a ton of people. They were the first organization to allow almost anyone to start actively experimenting with what LLMs could do and it had a huge impact.

They did win back a little bit of their open-ness with the gpt-oss model releases, but I'd like to see updated versions of those.

They are (in my mind) still the best models for fast general taka, when hosted on Groq / Cerebras

It was before GPT3 wasn't it?
