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.
