I know the family of SD3 models was really not what we had hoped for. But it seemed like they got a decent investment after that. And they’ve been making a lot of commercial deals (EA and UMG). Do you think they’ll ever come back to the open-source space? Or are they just going to go full close and be corporate? Model providers at this point.

I know we have a lot better open models like flux and qwen but for me SDXL is still a GOAT of a model, and I find myself still using it for different specific tasks even though I can run the larger ones.
