According to CoinMeta, Ronald Keung, the head of Goldman Sachs' Internet Research in Asia, believes that Chinese AI companies may no longer offer model weights completely for free in the future, but instead charge commercial licensing fees to cloud platforms and large API service providers. The tightening of Kimi K3 licenses marks the end of the era of free open-source models in China. Ordinary users can still download, deploy, and fine-tune them for free, but large MAAS service providers with annual revenues exceeding $20 million will need to sign separate agreements with "The Dark Side of the Moon." Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter, reports that Alibaba is preparing to add commercial charging terms to its next generation of Qwen models, and may share profits with Alibaba in the future.
