Open source's hidden win: AI models learn Blender best, tilting 3D tooling

The author makes a counterintuitive point: open source's hidden benefit is that model training companies can freely train on (and optimize for) your software.
- Using Blender as the example: models may become far more proficient at driving it than any proprietary 3D tool, simply because open-source data is abundant in training corpora
- In the agent era, tools that models 'know how to use' may win the market—proprietary software could lose value precisely because models can't operate it well
