open-weights

Use when choosing an open-weight LLM and clearing it for use — which family and size fit the task, the hardware and the budget, and above all whether the license permits shipping. Owns the license-class map (OSI-open versus custom-community versus non-commercial), the always-verify-the-model-card rule, size-to-VRAM budgeting and the quant formats. This layer decides WHICH model and whether the license allows it, then hands off. NOT downloading or hosting on the Hub (that is `huggingface`), NOT running it locally (that is `ollama`), NOT serving at throughput (that is `vllm`), NOT fine-tuning it (that is `finetuning`).

# Open weights — pick the model, then clear the license

This is the CHOICE layer. Given a task, a box, and a shipping constraint, it tells you *which*
open model to reach for and *whether the license lets you ship it*. It does not download, run,
serve, or fine-tune anything — it feeds the skills that do (see [Related skills](#related-skills)).

## The one rule (read before you name a model)

**Model names and their licenses change monthly. Never state a license from memory — open the
model card and confirm it, every time.** This file was authored against cards live in mid-2026;
by the time you read it, versions have shipped and terms have moved. So:

- Treat every specific version/license line below as **[verify the card]**, not as settled fact.
- State the license **class** (OSI-open vs custom-community vs restricted), then send the reader to
