The benefit of the agent working firstly for you rather than for Anthropic or OpenAI will become increasingly apparent. We're already seeing signs: remember when Anthropic openly promised to have Claude sabotage people using it to create competitors? And OpenAI is looking for revenue opportunities from advertising, which can't end well for their users.

Just think of how user-hostile other online services have gotten, and imagine how acutely painful the proprietary LLM providers could make theirs. Thankfully, open models provide some counterbalance.
