Open source will be behind always since it is harder to organize a large group of people and once it publishes it will be copied by big players, however if an organization like the original OpenAI gets formed that is truly non-for-profit and support the community, I believe it can beat big players. I think only Meta is the company that can support such an organization at the moment.
