Check an AI model’s licence terms
AI models come with licences that restrict how they may be used, and getting this wrong has legal and commercial consequences. This tool checks licence compatibility for popular AI models, so you understand the usage restrictions before you build on one.
Why model licences trip people up
A model being available to download does not mean it is free to use however you like. Licences vary widely: some permit any use including commercial, some forbid commercial use, some restrict outputs, some impose conditions on derivatives or require attribution. Building a product on a model whose licence forbids your use is a real risk that surfaces at the worst time. Checking the licence terms upfront, and whether they are compatible with your intended use and with each other in a stack, is basic due diligence that is easy to skip.
Know the terms first

Frequently Asked Questions
Does an available model mean I can use it freely?
No. Availability to download does not grant free use. Licences vary, and some forbid commercial use or restrict outputs and derivatives.
What do model licences restrict?
Commercial use, how outputs may be used, conditions on derivatives, and attribution requirements, among others. They vary widely between models.
Why check compatibility?
Because your intended use must be permitted, and in a stack of models the licences must be compatible with each other. Getting it wrong is a real legal risk.
When should I check?
Before building on a model, as basic due diligence, since a licence conflict discovered later can force a costly rebuild.
Is my input uploaded?
No. The check runs entirely in your browser.
