What you give up either way
- Vendor-trained proprietary models and any model fine-tuning done by the vendor
- Polished multi-model UX, priority support, and product polish (many styles, local/character/live modes)
- Scale-infra for many concurrent users and built-in credit/limits system
- Any commercial SLA, built-in content moderation/legal controls the vendor may provide
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches veegen.ai, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
