Although I did not work in AI, I did work at Google X robotics on a robot they often use for AI research.
Maybe some people felt like it was a competition, but I don’t have much reason to believe that feeling is common. AI researchers are literally in collaboration with other people in the field, publishing papers and reading the work of others to learn and build upon it.

OpenAI is no longer cooperating, they are just competing. They still haven't said anything about how gpt-4 works.
