Suggest a correction - Where it runs
- Local machine
Open-weight models are run by the user, not served by the vendor.
Suggest a correction - Works offline
- Partly
Local execution implies the model can run without a network once downloaded, but the vendor does not state this in the record.

Mirrors the availability field already on the record ("global").
Suggest a correction - Public API
- Not recorded
The record does not state whether a public API exists.
Suggest a correction - Licence
