that's a good thing, no?

Foundation Models aren't defensible. It'll force VCs to allocate on other stuff (the new buzz is "the application layer")

Open-source does very little good if no one actually contribute to the code except the company who controls it and no one else has the means to participate (other than taking the code as-it-is).

The giant players are more than happy to keep their models open if no one even tries to compete.
