Open weights, but not an open-source licence: the [dev] weights are non-commercial. It is a 12-billion-parameter model, so the memory requirement is real — quantised community builds bring it onto 8 and 12 GB cards at a quality cost.

The released weights are distilled from a larger model and are noticeably reluctant about anatomy; the community fine-tunes exist for the same reason they do for SDXL.
