It's great that the code is open source. However, the magic is in the models. I wouldn't be so sure that model access won't have the same restrictions as OpenAI

It's great that the code is open source. However, the magic is in the models. I wouldn't be so sure that model access won't have the same restrictions as OpenAI. From the repo: "To prevent misuse and harm, we currently provide access to the checkpoints only for academic research purposes upon request. This is an experiment in safe and community-driven publication of a capable and general text-to-image model. We are working on a public release with a more permissive license that also incorporates ethical considerations."
