LLMs arenโt just accelerating open-sourceโtheyโre reshaping what stays proprietary. The equation is simple: if itโs not uniquely complex, itโs going open.
What weโre seeing:
โข APIs becoming innovation hubs
โข Backend solutions going open
โข Basic functions being shared freely
โข Focus shifting to truly hard problems
The next two years will clearly separate whatโs genuinely complex (and stays proprietary) from what becomes community-driven. Weโre witnessing a fundamental shift in how we value and protect software.
What software do you think will remain proprietary in this new landscape?
