NINE DIMENSIONS / NO OPENNESS SCORE

What is actually available?

Each component has its own evidence. “Not established” means this source review did not verify availability; it is not a claim that nothing exists.

WHY THIS RELEASE MATTERS

What to explore.

  • Native multimodality
  • Very long context on Scout
  • Large deployment ecosystem

WHAT THE RECORD DOES NOT ESTABLISH

Keep the limits.

  • Custom license is not OSI-approved
  • Training data and full training stack are not released

This record does not independently reproduce Meta’s comparative benchmark claims.
