This is actually an excellent demonstration of a good reason to open source something. Another company immediately made a dramatic improvement.
Now anyone from Facebook or any companies they have invested in can benefit from that improvement and information about how they did it. Facebook could even take this exact model and add a coding assistant into Messenger if they wanted (not that they are interested in that). Or apply it to other things.
OpenAI has a big lead. The most effective counter to that is actually to team up.
