Why is this completely free? What is the catch?

No catch! We are first and foremost trying to make this technology accessible to as many people as possible, and we want to grow an ecosystem around it. Business models around that can come later.

Wondering this too. It seems to compete with some Azure AI services so my feeling is that either there's a gotcha, or it won't last long. Hopefully I'm wrong.

No gotcha! We're trying to fill a sweet spot for customers looking for a simple and quick way to get started with machine learning using their PCs or Macs without requiring any need for the cloud.

DK. Maybe it's a beta users as QA thing. After everything smooths-out, a more enterprise-ready version will appear or a price tag will be added.
