But, wasn’t the reason proprietary unixes died out at major work horses because of a nearly feature comparable free alternative (Linux)?

Extending the analogy, LLMs won’t die out, just proprietary ones. (Which is where I think this tech will actually go anyway.)

LLMs won't die out but proprietary LLMs behind APIs might not have valuations of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Crowd source, crowed trained (distributed training) fast enough, good enough generative models that are updated (and downloadable) every few months would start to erode the subscriber base gradually.

I might be very very wrong here but it seems like so from where I see it.
