The license statement is ambiguous and could be interpreted to imply that commercial use is not covered/allowed.
"According to the model's agreement, commercial use of this model is permitted.
Commercial use: need a written authorization from the Licensor.

"Our fine-tuned model is completely open for academic research, but please adhere to the agreement and the Yi License."

And in the Yi License:

"If you plan to use the Yi Series Models and Derivatives for Commercial Purposes, you should contact the Licensor in advance as specified in Section 7 of this Agreement named "Updates to the Agreement and Contact Information" and obtain written authorization from the Licensor. When you obtain authorization from the Licensor to use the Yi Series Models and Derivatives for Commercial Purposes, you must comply with the afore-mentioned license restrictions."
