Now that Google, Meta, Mistral, etc, all have great open source models, it seems rather untenable for OpenAI to

1. keep "open" in the name

2. stay closed source

3. pretend to be a non-profit

at least one of those things must go, right?

I don't think there are any laws about how you name your company right? they could just say "open" as in "open for everyone to use" and that would end that discussion

I didn't mean untenable legally, but from an public/internal perception.
