Just because the OSI doesn't like Open RAIL doesn't make it not open source unless you're strictly talking about the OSD. The OSI can't even figure where the boundaries of open models lie - data, training code, weights, etc. The RAIL licenses do have usage restrictions (eg. against harming minors, use in defamation, etc.), but they're completely unenforced. Flux Schnell is Apache. LTX-1 is Apache. |

If you aren’t talking about the OSD, you end up reducing “open source” to a semantically-null buzzword. But, in any case, I intentionally didn’t mention “open source”. The weights are under a use-restrictive license, not an open license, even leaving out the debates over what “source” is. And tha’s just SD1.x, SD2.x, and SDXL, which have the CreativeML OpenRAIL-M license (SD1.x) or CreativeML OpenRAIL++M licenses (SD2.x/SDXL). SD3.x has a far more restrictive license, as does Flux Dev.

Huh. It’s almost like I should have explicitly except Flux Schnell from the other Stable Diffusion and Flux models when I said they didn’t have open licenses.
Oh, I did.
> LTX-1 is Apache.
Yes, it is. LTX-1 is “neither Flux (except the distilled Flux Schnell model) nor Stable Diffusion”. AuraFlow (an image model) is also Apache, and while its behind Flux – Dev or Schnell – or SDXL in current mindshare, it got picked – largely for licensing reasons – as the basis for the next version of Pony Diffusion, a popular (largely, though not exclusively, for NSFW capabilities) community model series whose previous versions were based on SD1.5 and SDXL, which gives it a good chance of becoming a major player.
