I am really grateful to the Chinese Labs for open sourcing their best models. If it was left to the Americans, we would be forced to pay obscene API fees to use them.

Note that the license on this has this in it:

> You shall not use the Materials for any commercial purpose without obtaining a separate commercial license from us.

It probably will be much cheaper to use than other image models, but it seems that will be up to the whims of Qwen/Alibaba rather than just being the cost of putting it in a cloud provider.

    Honestly, that's fine. The commercial license isn't that bad, and cloud providers selling API access to this can afford it.

    I am just happy I can run these models on my own hardware. Hopefully in 10 years, self-hosted models far exceeding what's currently available will run comfortable on commodity hardware.
