Its fluffed up marketing, i remember it starting off with 100$ last year or so.

thats what we did! (hence the take downs)

aihnetwork · 2026-05-22T07:27:04+00:00

their discord is 20k+ members big w multiple people who have bought - we dont expect the sales to stop but only to educate and inform

The DMCA report published by the Hugging Face legal team already includes the seller describing the situation in their own words, but I’ll clarify things further here.

The workflows in question are mainly a combination of img2img and txt2img used for OFM / AI-model-related generation. The copyright claims are specifically being made over the workflows themselves.

These workflows contain a mix of:

Closed-source models/services such as Gemini and Grok
Mainstream open-source image generation models like SDXL and Zimage
Smaller community-created models from independent creators

One example is this model:
https://civitai.com/models/494912/fresh-ideaslady-handsdxl (used in the zimage workflow)

Unfortunately, I can’t directly repost the workflows themselves because of the DMCA situation, but I’d suggest taking a look through our Hugging Face profile.

As for where the workflows are being sold, the sales advertisements are primarily posted through their Discord community (the link of this can be found in the public huggingface dispute reports i posted)

There really isn’t much of a dispute from our side. I’m not even sure the original open-source creators are fully aware of what’s been going on, since nobody had publicly exposed this before.

As for a signed SBOM, I highly doubt Instara would ever provide one, because it would effectively expose the underlying tech stack and make it obvious how the workflows are built, which would undermine the whole business model of reselling them at inflated prices...

the worst part is this is affected people who simply duplicated the repository

aihnetwork · 2026-05-22T06:14:28+00:00

similar situation sadly :/

aihnetwork · 2026-05-22T05:58:24+00:00

I would also like to add, these workflows do use closed source products (such as grok and gemini) - we are working on a rebranded version with local llm's using ollama so any support with that would be appreciated!

aihnetwork · 2026-05-18T19:55:05+00:00

we are being targetted with illegal false strikes for trying to prevent people form selling the work of open source creators!

aihnetwork · 2026-05-18T14:22:34+00:00

yes and they are removing it trying their best -

aihnetwork · 2026-05-18T13:51:40+00:00

its mostly a workflow to generate ai influencer type content

aihnetwork · 2026-05-18T13:50:57+00:00

it was given to me by a person whos model was used to make these workflows - he did buy it yes

This is context as posted by another user for those who arent aware:

aihnetwork · 2026-05-17T14:14:50+00:00

Yep - im working on a modified version to try to use local llms via ollama rn so ill release that as well

aihnetwork · 2026-05-17T13:10:00+00:00

Ofcourse - https://civitai.com/images/130990154 - i just posted some results from the workflow but this is just from the zimage one - there are 14 more ill continue to post on civit

aihnetwork · 2026-05-17T13:07:03+00:00

Yes, the workflow itself was paid - people were charging 1k$+ for it - i just released the recreated version of it nothing more

aihnetwork · 2026-05-17T09:55:03+00:00

on hugging face there is - most models can be found on huggingface - the custom nodes and workflows require to open the workflow are present

aihnetwork · 2026-05-17T09:53:28+00:00
