A new argument says closed, proprietary American AI is starting to lose

A Reddit-linked essay argues that American AI is becoming too closed and proprietary, and that this could make it lose ground.
- The core thesis is that the current U.S. AI stack is locked down rather than open.
- The author frames openness as a competitive advantage, implying closed models and platforms may eventually lose out.
- This is presented as a broader strategic argument about where the AI industry is headed, not a product announcement or technical release.
