Open-source AI debate splits Big Tech from other sectors

The debate over open-source AI (OSS AI) is currently split, with Big Tech leaning heavily in favor of OSS, despite some major players like Anthropic and potentially Amazon and Oracle being against it. However, when considering non-tech giants such as defense companies, banks, and government bodies, the stance becomes more divided, with an overall split closer to 50/50.
