The modified MIT clause is sneakier than people think. Hit 100M users or $20M a month and you have to slap "Kimi K2.6" on your UI. That covers any consumer app worth building. Not really open, more like free until you matter. Llama pulled the same move
The threshold for "worth building" is much lower than that for a lot of people.
Attribution is a fair clause in opensource. What is the problem? You are making 20M$ a month thanks to their free work.
Worth building with VC capital maybe. A small team putting together an app that pulled in $20M per year should be pretty pleased with that.
if you reach that numbers, kimi would be your least of worries
I'll definitely put this into the "good problem to have" category.
in what way does this restrict how you are able to use the model?
And the Kimi team broke the Anthropic ToS by training off Opus outputs and… nothing happened?
Nobody cares, nor should they. Anthropic broke nearly every ToS of every website that they scraped data from. The AI robber barons just want to monopolize intellectual property violations, and I'm gonna cheer on any robin hoods that take it back from them.
