With the open-weight release of CogVideoX-5B from THUDM, i.e. GLM team, the Video Generation Model (how about calling it VGM) field has officially became the next booming "LLM"
What does the landscape look like? What are other video generation models? This collection below is all your need.
@01AI_Yi recently switched from a permissive & commercially friendly license, to Apache 2.0. And the community loved it! 🚀
@JustinLin610 also had a poll on model license and the majority votes for Apache 2.0.
Why it is a Big Deal? ⬇️
📚 Legal Simplicity: Custom licenses need costly & time-consuming legal review. Apache 2.0 is well-known & easier for legal teams to handle.
👩💻 Developer-Friendly: Legal docs are a pain for devs! Apache 2.0 is well-known and tech-friendly, making it easier for non-native developers to understand the implications too.
🔗 Easier Integration: Apache 2.0 is compatible with many other licenses, simplifying tasks like model merging with models of different licensing requirements.
🚫 No Permission Needed: Custom licenses often require explicit permission and additional documentation work of filling forms, creating barriers. Apache 2.0 removes this hurdle, letting devs focus on innovation.
