Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to self-host Stability’s Core Models?
Use of the Core Models (including Stable Diffusion 3 2B) is free for everyone, unless you’re using the Core Models for a commercial purpose and you or your organization generate over USD $1M (or local currency equivalent) of annual revenue, regardless of the source of that revenue.
I’m a fine-tuner, do I need to pay a license fee to Stability? Even if I sell my models?
No, unless you’re making over USD $1M of annual revenue, regardless of the source of that revenue, then the Core Models and Derivative Works thereof are free for you to use.
I own a business that uses the Core Models in our products, services or internal business operations. Do I need to pay a license fee?
Any business making under USD $1M annually of revenue, regardless of the source of that revenue, doesn’t need to pay to use or distribute the Core Models.
I am an individual creator or enthusiast generating content from the Core Models at home. Do I need to pay a license fee?
No you won’t need to pay - create away!
I am a researcher in a large company. Do I need to pay a license fee?
The Stability AI Community License allows for research, non-commercial, and commercial use of the Core Models for individuals or organizations that generate under $1M (or local currency equivalent) of annual revenue, regardless of the source of that revenue. So if you use Stability AI’s models for research purposes only, this falls within the Community License and you don’t need to pay, regardless of the amount of revenue generated by your organization. However, if a Core Model, or a Derivative Work thereof, is utilized in your research, and that research will be used for a commercial purpose (i.e., within a product or service), you must register with Stability AI and may also need to obtain a paid Enterprise License if the annual revenue of your organization, or the organization(s) performing the commercial use, exceeds $1M.
What happens if I am unable to agree to an Enterprise License with Stability?
Stability AI is focused on contributing to the “community” as well as establishing a sustainable business by serving enterprise customers. This allows us to continue investing in developing cutting edge AI technology for the benefit of everyone. Declining a new enterprise customer does not align with our goal to make our models available to as many people as possible.
