alt Hacker News> Perhaps I'm imagining it but the entire industry was build on public research
There is some excellent publicly-funded research in there, but pivotal papers like Attention Is All You Need and the numerous pivotal OpenAI publications were privately funded.
OpenAI is at the top of the chart in the study.
I think you're bringing some assumptions into this conversation that aren't supported by the evidence.

A distinction should be made between the old nonprofit OpenAI and the current organization. They don't publish technical research anymore.
The Attention Is All You Need paper deserves a lot of credit, but it also builds on other ideas. Earlier versions of attention were introduced in 2014 papers from (not U.S.) universities.
