Claims that AI makes writing code nearly free and that the moat moved from code to context backed by field data: Linux Foundation deploys an MCP server, LFX agents for onboarding, support and a data quality agent, and open-source LFX skills; project onboarding drops from three days to hours; 2.3M+ contributors versus 5,473 maintainers; personal test: 87 pull requests and 20× more lines produced without hand-coding; primary models are commercial today while Sarvam and BharatGen are cited as open-model targets.
