What you give up either way

  • The vendor’s trained/hosted AI model and its ongoing improvements
  • Polish around generation consistency, UI/UX and batch-processing features
  • Built-in commercial license, private generation guarantees, and paid support
  • Priority/managed hosting and the vendor-maintained credit system

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches VectorEngine, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
