iirc, gpt-4-base was handed out liberally to outsiders. Most outsiders didn’t care about it, because it was so much less useful than the post-trained model, but they could’ve got the api keys by sending a slack message.
The models that labs don’t liberally hand out are the helpful-only post-trained models.
Importantly, any non-public model from a frontier developer is no longer so easy to get access to, and (and this is the point of my initial comment) may in fact require government approval (which is extremely new!).
I clarified that I was talking about GPT-4 base to make it clear that I was not leaking non-public information (which Thomas’s comment implied I may be at risk of doing).

This is also my understanding.
