Irony is LG has their own open weights AI: Exaone 32B.

It’s… not terrible. Especially for a multilingual, locally runnable one. But they gave it a license from the depths of hell, that even forbids reverse engineering and basically claims all its outputs, so no one uses it.

Anyway, I find it darkly hilarious that they choose to snub their own research, and their Tenstorrent partnership, and shove copilot in instead. How much you wanna bet they namedrop OpenAI in their earnings report?
This is corporate enshittification at its purest.
I’d assume microsoft is writing them a fat check to do so
Ding ding
Nothing has to do with quality anymore, it's all about money for the few rich people
Yeh and their own ‘R and D’ may have been leverage in the negotiation.
