OpenDots Launches Open Source, But Its Model Costs Money
Original: Free Open Source dots Arrives as OpenDots, but the Model Costs Money
OpenDots has arrived as a free, open-source offering, but the underlying model itself requires payment. This splits the project into two tiers: the code and framework are open and cost nothing, while access to the model carries a price. The mixed approach is raising questions about how open the release really is for users who expected everything to be free.
Why now: People are debating whether a paid model under an open-source label counts as genuinely open.
