If agents produce the vast majority of software in the future, and they’re most trained on open source software, they will inevitably do their best work with those tools. If you cycle this enough times, it means that open source effectively becomes the dominant software in the future as it’s what everything important gets built with. This was already the trend in many critical domains, but agents will accelerate this far faster than humans ever could have.

The unexpected benefit of open source is that it allows model training companies to train on using your software (and optimizing it) for free. Blender may have just won as a 3D asset creation software because the models will be better at using it than any proprietary ones
