Latest developments
Meta released Muse Spark Open (around 816B parameters, open weights). Unlike Llama 4, the Muse Model License does not exclude companies in the EU; EU licensees contract with Meta Platforms Ireland. Conditions: attribution 'Built with Muse Spark Open', a separate agreement for model-as-a-service above $20 million in revenue, and access via a manual request with name, date of birth and organisation name. Self-hosting keeps data within your own infrastructure. source

- Does Llama train on my data?
- Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.
- What should I watch out for with AI in game development?
- Check per subscription what happens to your assets and prompts. Meshy and Convai may use your input and output to improve or train their services on standard plans (with Meshy you can opt out via support), Scenario does this on self-serve plans too and only contractually excludes it on Enterprise, and Ludo.ai reserves the right to train in its terms. On the free plan of Meshy, Meshy owns the output (use under CC BY 4.0 with attribution). Kaedim says it does not use your IP for training and is ISO 27001-certified, Cascadeur runs the AI tools locally and does not collect your animations as training data, and with Unity, training on your content is off by default. Most generative services store data in the US. Only put unreleased art, scripts or player data into a tool once a data processing agreement is in place, and for AI NPCs, check what the model might say to underage players.
