How valuable is open-source software, really? A new Harvard study puts a staggering number on its economic impact—but there’s a catch. We break down what this means for the future of open source and why companies might not be pulling their weight. Plus, NVIDIA just made a major announcement in robotics that could change everything. Their latest tech is open-source, but is that enough to shape the future of humanoid robots? Join us for a deep dive into the power of open source and the future of AI-driven robotics!
