They can force model upgrades too:

- emadm 4y agoActually the license is not the same as the prior one to remove this
- josephcsible 4y agoI don't understand why so many people call Stable Diffusion open source.
- myaccount9786 4y agoYou can download the model weights and run them offline. At least, you could in v1.4. I assume this is still possible on v2.0?
- schoen 4y agoRight, but the model weights are arguably not the "source code", and the license gives the users fewer rights than open source licenses do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition
- myaccount9786 4y agoI think the controls in this space are such a shit show right now that being "open model" is practically equivalent to a WTFPL. If you're trying to build an app based on SD, then not being open source matters. But seems like the majority of use cases are just "I want to run the model locally". And at that point HF can't stop me from just ripping the Wi-Fi card out of my computer.
- xkapastel 4y agoWhy do you think it is not open source? The model weights, model architecture, and dataset are all available.
- charcircuit 4y agoRead the license of the model: https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/blob/main/LICENSE-MODEL https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/blob/main/LI... 5. and 7. make it not open source
- simlevesque 4y agoSeems like it is open source, just not free software.
- josephcsible 4y agoIt's not free software or open source. Check the Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd https://opensource.org/osd
- xkapastel 4y agoI don't see how it contradicts the open source definition at https://opensource.org/osd https://opensource.org/osd, could you point it out for me?
- josephcsible 4y agoFor the most blatant violation, look at point 6 of the OSD and attachment A of the license.

- cma 4y agoSomeone seeming to be emad below says the license was changed (the post got flagged for some reason): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33727177 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33727177 https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/commit/ca86da3a30c4e080d4db8c25fca73de843663cb4 https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/commit/ca86d...
