- Worth noticing
- Its methodology treats commercial permission and license fees as separate questions, and warns that weights and dependencies may have different terms.
Field notes
The guided finder asks for a research goal, commercial-rights preference, and available compute, with options ranging from CPU-only to hosted service. Its methodology warns that code, weights, dependencies, and cloud or GPU costs may have separate terms, and says unverified means the available evidence is insufficient. The extracted page reports five additions in an October 16 audit, but its directory results were still loading in the captured view.
