I don't have an account but my colleauges do as my company uses the platform.
By self-service, do you mean that the SDK generators are now source-available so they can be run by end users locally?

Yes, that’s right.
That would be great to lead with since it's not present in any of the blog post communication anywhere.
I don't think the generators themselves were open-sourced (only the generated SDKs were already open-source). That leaves three main (recommended) options:
* Manual Maintenance: Returning to the pre-Stainless era.
* Agentic Coding: Works to an extent, but you lose the deterministic, review-free output required to keep an SDK perfectly structured and coherent.
* Open-source Generators: Helpful for basic use cases, but they lack Stainless's full-stack features like multi-language generation and publishing, MCPs, and documentation.
No, the generator itself is being made source-available for previous customers
