Can I use Z-Image-Turbo commercially through EcoHash?
EcoHash hosts Z-Image-Turbo under the model publisher's own licence and does not change its terms, so whether your use is permitted is decided by that licence — read it on the model card at https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo. The EcoHash Terms of Service additionally require you to comply with each model's licence and acceptable-use policy. Your EcoHash bill for API usage is separate from, and does not grant, any right under the model's licence.
