AI Business Models: Teasing Apart Gratis and Libre

The American Enterprise Institute has published a piece examining AI business models, focusing on the distinction between 'gratis' offerings, which are free of charge, and 'libre' offerings, which come with freedom to use, modify and redistribute. The argument is that conflating the two leads to confusion in debates over open AI models, as a model can be free to access without granting meaningful freedoms to developers and users who want to build on it.

Why now: Ongoing debate over what 'open' really means for AI models and which business models are sustainable.
