Openness
3 high confidence- weights
- open(downloadable on HF)
- data
- closed
- code
- partial(inference/utils via llama-models, no training code)
- license
- Llama-4-Community(non-OSI: 700M MAU commercial cap as of Apr 2025 + no-compete/no-train-competing-LLM clause)
Weights downloadable under Meta's Llama-4-Community terms: a 700M-MAU commercial cap, an acceptable-use policy and naming requirements. No relicensing to record - Llama 3.1 carried the equivalent terms, and Llama 4 Scout and Maverick govern as the current release. Moved from 2/restricted on 2026-08-01 by the universal license scale, which caps a bounded commercial license at 3 rather than 2. The test at that boundary is whether the license permits commercial use AT ALL: this one does, for everyone inside the bound. A license that forbids commerce outright - CC-BY-NC, Mistral Non-Production - stays at 2. Nine other products carry a bounded license and all now score 3; four of them were already recorded there, which is the inconsistency this resolves.
