Image models are going to be widely available. They'll probably be a dime a dozen soon. It's great that an increasing number of models are going open, because these are the ecosystems that will grow.
3D models (sculpts, texture, retopo, etc.) are following a similar trend and trajectory.
Open video models are lagging behind by several years. While CogVideo and Pyramid are promising, video models are petabyte scale and so much more costly to build and train.
I'm hoping video becomes free and cheap, but it's looking like we might be waiting a while.
Major kudos to all of the teams building and training open source models!
