The power of giving universities, companies, and hackers "full" models should not be understated.

Here are a just a few ideas for image, video, and creative media models:

- Suddenly you're not "blocked" for entire innocuous prompts. This is a huge issue.

- You can fine tune the model to learn/do new things. A lighting adjustment model, a pose adjustment model. You can hook up the model to mocap, train it to generate plates, etc.

- You can fine tune it on your brand aesthetic and not have it washed out.
