Tier 3 Practical open-weight
What the publisher claims: open-source, MIT licensed
The one-liner: MIT-licensed image weights with a published technical report behind them.
The six questions
Weights for the Full, Dev, and Fast variants are downloadable from the publisher's Hugging Face repositories.
Both the repository code and the model weights are released under the MIT License, an OSI-approved permissive license.
Runs locally on consumer GPUs with published inference code and Diffusers-compatible checkpoints.
A technical report documents the sparse diffusion transformer architecture and training approach; the training corpus itself is not released.
Limited: strong disclosure of method, but no reproducible data or full recipe.
Academic-team repo with merged community PRs; no formal governance structure.
License
MIT License (code and model weights) OSI-approved — license source ↗
- Apply the standard MIT notice and copyright notice to redistributed weights and code
What is actually released
- weights (Full, Dev, Fast)
- inference code
- technical report on the sparse diffusion transformer design
Why it matters
A useful counterweight to the FLUX and Stability families: the same distributable-weight practice with a genuinely permissive license attached.
