Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch urged developers to "own your intelligence": anyone opposing this has something to sell you. Since massive models remain out of reach locally, he argues the best move is keeping options open — own your harness, data, connections, runtime and agents, and embrace open source. Responders added "own your context too."
