Release it, fine. There’s been lots of fine tuned and continued trained SD models. Just don’t call it “1.5” which is the specific label for the model stability is training internally. Again the license ‘permits’ them to do it but seems like a very bad business decision since runway given what their service does would likely benefit hugely from early access to eg stability’s future text2video models (etc), which they now likely won’t get until everyone else (leaving someone else to possibly take market share in their field, and if this is the trade - because they got ‘impatient’ - that seems awfully not smart).

It seems very weird to me that “stability” is building a company around something they didn’t create.
