Moondream is far from an unknown player these days and known for punching well above its size. They too adopted the MoE architecture with 9B total, 2B active parameters and improved the already great benchmarks even further. An interesting aspect is its unique (in the AI world) license:
TL;DR - You can use Moondream 3 (Preview) freely for personal, research, and most commercial uses. What's NOT allowed without a separate deal is offering a paid product that competes with M87 Labs' paid versions (e.g., selling hosted or embedded access to the model's capabilities to third parties).
