Timestral is not free - it has a "Modified" MIT, which requires you to buy from Mistral if your global business makes more than $20m a month.

Calling it "Modified" MIT is just misleading.

While not fully tested in court, I am kf the opinion the mkdel wieghts are nkt copywritabke, thus I am lersonally at leave to ignore their stupid not open license and use the wieghts as I see fit. Anyone else doing this should be advised to consult with an attoruney and be prepared to defend themselves in court.

Gotta pay if i make more than 20 mil a month?

Sounds like a great problem to have.

It does make it difficult to deploy if you are part of an enterprise, even if your own use-case is tiny.

exactly, a $100B public company can have new business units that are low revenue but are treated differently than VC funded seed startups with the same revenue.

When we started C1.ai - 2020 - as someone who worked previously at Okta - I made a decision to only implement OIDC. (see article for all of the reasons). We were worried in the first 2 years, that some big enterprise would force us to implement SAML.

But it turns out, all the major IDPs support OIDC now. It's a non-issue.
