| As an open multi modal we went for a flat membership scheme we are introducing: https://x.com/EMostaque/status/1729609312601887109?s=20 $1 => $100k+ flat for all models we release depending on company size/type, then upsell support, early access, custom models, other services. I think that aligns with growth of market as a base to cover model costs and is a strong recurring revenue stream while being predictable. This incentivises us to release more good models of every type to drive more subscriptions, much like Netflix with hit TV shows. So we are doing a dozen languages, common models improved as well as state of the art ones. We also have commercial variants eg our www.stableaudio.com model that per licensing we can't release open. Usually companies have an open core business model for source code, but models are a bit different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-core_model It will be interesting to see how others do it, particularly with incredibly strong models from Chinese companies coming through. |
