And 15% of revenue after you pass the "tiny startup" thresholds?

This looks to be shaping up as the same hook that Unity has, except you have to pay for model infra and engineering in addition to the product development costs.

It'd be nice if your company morphed into an open source HuggingFace + Together.ai / Replicate.ai where the model code is truly 100% open source, with no commercial use or revenue restriction clause.

Basically, I'm eagerly awaiting the Gitlab of AI to emerge.

I assume you have investor / revenue targets, though. And it's your company.

Nah its flat fee for all the models, no revenue share.

Amazon Prime but for generative AI, large companies have signed up for huge deals already and everyone has been happy with pricing, its designed to be simple base then we upsell other services but focus on research.

This lets us grow with the market and will do models of every modality for every country, including new BERTs and more.

We fund huge amounts of OSS, gave over 10m A100 hours in the last year and almost our collaborations are open.

For the stable series we are making it simple and scalable so we don't need to work against the people using the models.
