It's not going to matter unless you plan to commercially deploy the model, as far as I see. It's not going to matter then, either. What are they going to do, sue me for copyright infringement?

Yes? If you deploy the model and provide it on Openrouter (or elsewhere) you better have a license.

  No need to deploy it publicly. It's 7B, it'll run on a 3090.

    You talked about commercially deploying it. Of course nobody cares what you are doing on your own hardware for fun.
    - CamperBob2 8d ago
      Usually the way the licenses are interpreted, if I run it myself and use it to generate $X million in revenue in my own business, I'm subject to the license. In this case, the license seems to cover any commercial usage at all, which would certainly include self-hosting for internal business purposes. Why even bother demanding such terms? Release the weights or don't release the weights, but this is silly. No one is going to pay them to run or host a 7B static image model.

        Why not? If it's cheap enough, and presuming I had any reason to use an image model, I'd consider paying for it on OpenRouter over hosting it myself.

    yes, but it uses 17gb VRAM when running a 50 inference steps generation from prompt. Which is more than I expected since a 7B model sounds little.

  It’s not entirely clear far part of a model would be copyrightable in the first place - it’s the result of a mechanical process, where the inputs are someone else’s copyrighted works, after all, while copyright requires some form of creative input.
  - johnnyApplePRNG 7d ago
    It's called a transformative work. And it is indeed copyrightable or it's able to be protected legally, if that's what you're wondering?
  - KeplerBoy 7d ago
    True, but my pockets aren't deep enough to be the one who wants to figure that out in court.
