#2- Models will be released
- Free to use for non commercial projects
- 20$/m subscription needed if project has less than $1m annual revenue or - Undisclosed "Enterprise" subscription needed for projects larger than above
To me the $240/y sounds pretty awesome for a smaller commercial project, and i like they've set the threshold pretty high up.
But still don't like "undisclosed" black box enterprise pricing though when they're running their own API, because it basically means they can tax you to death if you build a service that competes with their API right - so in effect only viable to create small companies with this tech?

#3> In keeping with our commitment to open generative AI, we aim to make the model weights available for self-hosting with a Stability AI Membership in the near future.
This is new, right? All previous releases as far as I can tell were just released on HuggingFace. Does this statement just imply something about licensing for commercial usage, or are they pretending that by gating the download behind a paywall that will somehow require people to buy memberships to get the weights?

#4Big jump in price per generation and now is in line with dall3. So is the model 20-30 times more gpu intense or did they decide to finally make money?

After that report a few weeks ago saying they literally can't afford to pay their AWS bills I would guess it's the latter.

> By October 2023, Stability would have less than $4 million left in the bank [...] Stability was "underpaying AWS bills for July (by $1M)" and "not planning to pay AWS at the end of October for August usage ($7M)." Then there were the September and October bills, plus $1 million owed to Google Cloud and $600,000 to GPU cloud data center CoreWeave [...] Stability was on track to lose more money per month than it made in an entire year.

#6This Reddit thread from someone with early access has some sample images: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1c2je28/i_...
Maybe the early access beta was limiting the available resources, or they used bad settings, bud juding by that thread it looks like the model got worse during training or the earlier examples were quite cherry-picked.

Does this mean that SD3 will not be available from Huggingface etc.?

I didn't think those were bad at all
