Can anyone explain what’s Stability’s business model (or plan for one)?

I get why Meta releases tons of models, but still can’t quite understand what stability is trying to achieve




Seems like the standard open-core playbook:

> This model is included in our new Stability AI Membership. Visit our Membership page to take advantage of our commercial Core Model offerings, including SDXL Turbo & Stable Video Diffusion.

A hypothetical Stable Code 13B/70B could be hosted only, with more languages or specialized use-cases (Stable Code 3B iOS-Swift-Turbo)


Membership with upsell to support, custom models and more

Plus licensed variant models like stable audio and on chip installation like arm for specialist models eg Japanese law or Indonesian accounting


to be bought by meta


This is all an elaborate mating ritual
