As of 2026-11-04.

  1. Download only from the official org (e.g. deepseek-ai, Qwen on Hugging Face).
  2. Read LICENSE and any additional acceptable-use terms on the model card.
  3. Budget VRAM for context length you actually need.
  4. Add your own auth, logging, and safety layers — weights do not include a hosted ToS.
