Google is apparently going to be more secretive about its AI breakthroughs.

A paper (PDF) published by Google described the Transformer neural net architecture that is the “T” in OpenAI’s GPT, but the Washington Post reports we shouldn’t expect to see that happen again.

Now the Post says Google Research leader Jeff Dean shifted away from a previous approach of “encouraging researchers to publish academic papers prolifically.”

Instead:

Google would take advantage of its own AI discoveries, sharing papers only after the lab work had been turned into products, Dean said, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private information.
