I can imagine it in the image generation space, since open models like Stable Diffusion have a level of customization that proprietary ones lack, and in this space it matters a lot. Even as Stability AI fumbles, there is a large amount of open-source efforts in this space picking up the slack.
I have a hard time seeing this happen to LLMs due to both the prohibitive cost of training them and the proprietary LLMs being "good enough" for consumer use cases.
