Open-source is not going away anytime soon.

There's a handful of open models like Qwen Image, Flux, Wan, and others on AI image generators like VisualGPT, Pixlr, Free AI, and more. And here's the catch - they're free.

Hugging Face inference costs money just to generate simple images. Things like VisualGPT still have your favorite models for free.

GPT Image isn't worth it - and neither is HF inference. The real way to use open models is the things you closed-source third-party lovers already use.

I really wish Hugging Face offered competitive hardware pricing. I hope the NVIDIA buyout helps.
