...and thousands of enterprise customers translating into billions of dollars worth of deals.

The point is, OpenAI can afford to have free-loaders as long as their deals from enterprise, governments are paying for the service.

Midjourney doesn't have a free plan so no free-loaders there and they're making $200M+ with no VCs.

Stability.ai will always suffer from free-loaders due to their fully open source AI.

Stability's recent models (SD3, SV3D, StableLM2, StableCode, and more) are neither open licensed nor planned for release as open licensed.

Sounds like a fairly precarious position they’re in though. This isn’t some new magic tech anymore.
