I would be asking the same question if another company formed in the past year raised $6B to train LLMs. For example, Mistral raised a significantly smaller round at a much lower valuation. Just trying to learn how others see this.

Because Microsoft/OpenAI, Google and Meta have unlimited money and servers to throw at AI.

As do Amazon and Apple who aren't just sitting back doing nothing.

So I think even 4th place is putting it nicely. Far more likely to be 6th at best.

Because winning tech-development or even AI/AGI is about who has the most money and servers?!

Since when? If that's the case then why are Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and even Google not nr 1 right now?

IMO the deciding factor for success is super obviously leadership. Hence why xAI got 6 billy thrown at it.

> If that's the case then why are Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and even Google not nr 1 right now?

Microsoft is nr 1 right now, via OpenAI. Microsoft was behind on AI so they sent their compute for 49% of OpenAI and full access to OpenAI's models.
