# Why Open-Source
AI today is concentrated in the hands of a few companies. They ask for trust, while keeping the levers of control hidden. We think that's a mistake.
AI today is concentrated in the hands of [a few companies](https://stratechery.com/2025/tech-philosophy-and-ai-opportunity/). They ask for trust, while keeping the levers of control hidden. We think that's a mistake.
When you depend on one vendor, your future is tied to their roadmap, their politics, their survival. If they get acquired, pivot, or shut down; you're stuck.
@ -16,9 +16,9 @@ Depending on a closed vendor means giving up more than flexibility:
AI has become critical infrastructure. Nations, enterprises, even small teams rely on it to think and decide. And yet, control sits with a few vendors who decide the terms of access. We believe that's not control. That's dependency dressed up as convenience. One of the most powerful invention is being steered by a handful of executives. Their values shape what billions can say, build, or ask.

> The world is made, and can be remade.
Every industrial wave redefined critical aspects of our daily lives:
- Factories introduced shift clocks and wage rhythms
- Steam gave way to electricity and standardized parts
- Rail, telegraph, and later networks changed how decisions travel
- Each wave pulled new bargains into being skills, schools, safety nets, labor law
Every industrial wave redefined new defaults of our daily lives:
- [Factories](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory) created the modern job
- [Electricity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity) created the modern home
