Text-to-image model trained for about $20,000 released openly

Original: Show HN: A decent text-to-image model trained for ~$20K (Apache 2.0 Weights)

A new text-to-image model has been released under the Apache 2.0 license after being trained for roughly $20,000, a fraction of typical costs. The team at Linum published field notes explaining the process, and the open weights plus low training budget are drawing attention from developers interested in accessible image-generation technology.

Why now: Releasing a capable open-source model at a strikingly low training cost challenges assumptions that image generation requires massive budgets.
