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.

    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?

    "b. You may not use the Software Products or Derivative Works to enable third parties to use the Software Products or Derivative Works as part of your hosted service or via your APIs"

    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

    That's neat. Is it meant to supersede xl, it just something different?
