This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Awesome. People were worried Stability will focus on enterprise AI after SDXL and completely forget making consumer AI, but this is definitely not the case.
This model is being released under a non-commercial license that permits non-commercial use only.
God bless.
They've said in the past that this only applies to incorporating the models into a service, not the outputs from models.

Hmm, I wonder whether this means that the model can't be run under replicate.com or mage.space.
Is it commercial use if you have to pay for credits/monthly for the machines that the models are running on?
Like is "Selling the models as a service" commercial use, or can't the output of the models be used commercially?
I suppose it's not allowed them. That kind of sucks, it is pretty convenient to just use a replicate.com machine and use a large image model kinda instantly. Or spin up your own machine for a while if you need lots of images without a potential cold-start or slow usage on shared machines
I wonder why they chose this license, because the common SD license basically lets you do whatever you want
They're VC funded, so they need to start getting a ROI. Very disappointing license but it will also massively slow down its spread.
That's neat. Is it meant to supersede xl, it just something different?
Anyone done the elephant room test on it yet? /s
