Ideogram 4 image model released with restrictive output license

Ideogram 4, a new image generation model, has been released but comes with a highly restrictive license. While the model itself can be used via API or service, the generated outputs are limited to personal use only. This restriction significantly hinders its applicability for commercial purposes, such as client work or freelance projects, effectively blocking any professional usage of the locally run model. AI

IMPACT Restricts commercial use of generated images, limiting professional applications for the Ideogram 4 model.
