Honestly in my anecdotal experience so far, it's been about the same as smaller and cheaper tools like HiDream that we can host and control ourselves.

I'm also getting a surprisingly high number of refusals for everything from stylistic representation to topics that are only lightly controversial like government/military.

e.g. I'm unable to get this to generate a drone "target" for infantry practice. This is surprising given OpenAI's ongoing IL4 efforts. I don't know why they would take this sort of Anthropic-esque "ethics" stance, especially given there are already several companies selling the above to the DoD.

It's a huge failure mode if people end up using CN-developed open source AI models for US government & military use cases because software engineers at our own AI labs are taking holier-than-thou ethics stances.
