StabilityAI's solution to provide base models everyone can fine-tune seems more useful. APIs are too restrictive and expensive.



Exactly. I see this being eclipsed by the Stable Diffusion equivalent for ChatGPT. You could then have cloud providers offering whatever specialised compute you need to easily run one of these as a server. Host your own instance in other words.

Obviously a lot of people will just want a simple SAAS product still, we won't want or need everyone, hosting their own apps (too energy intensive for a start). This can then be a SAAS offering, but backed by the same open source software.
