Legal Disclosures & Liability Waiver

Affiliate disclosure

OpenSourcesAI is a reader-supported developer workspace. We may earn an affiliate commission on commercial tools purchased through our partner listings or outbound links. Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay and do not guarantee positive editorial coverage. Affiliate buttons and partner links are only displayed where a real partner URL is available and the placement is relevant to the page context.

Current approved or accepted affiliate partners include Bright Data, 1Password, MindStudio, RunPod, ElevenLabs, Dify, Emergent, Browse AI, Reclaim.ai, SaneBox, OmniSEO, Turbotic, Beautiful.ai, Gamma, CometChat, Optery, airSlate, Foxit, Flocksy, and Dry Ground AI.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon links on this site are labeled “(paid link)” at the point of the link, open a general Amazon product search rather than a specific listing, and never affect which hardware we editorially recommend.

Sponsored placements

Sponsored placements, partner listings, or paid promotions are clearly labeled with a “Commercial Service” or “Partner” badge. Paid placement does not guarantee an editorial recommendation, favorable review, or favorable comparison result.

As-Is / No-Warranty clause

All materials, performance estimations, VRAM recommendations, compatibility configurations, and code snippets are provided on an “As-Is” and “As-Available” basis for educational and informational purposes only. OpenSourcesAI makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding accuracy, completeness, or hardware safety.

VRAM figures, quantization estimates, and runtime benchmarks are empirical approximations derived from community testing and published model cards. Actual memory consumption, throughput, and system behavior vary by GPU architecture, driver version, runtime configuration, context length, system load, and other factors outside our control. Always verify against your specific hardware before production or commercial deployment.

Important safety notice — hardware risk

Running large language models locally requires high compute utilization. Intensive inference workloads can introduce thermal stress, high power draw, or temporary system instability.

Users execute our recommended AI stacks, hardware calculations, and configuration scripts entirely at their own risk. OpenSourcesAI, its founders, and contributors accept no liability for any hardware damage, data loss, or system failures resulting from your local model setups.

Before running any local AI stack:

• Ensure your GPU and system cooling are adequate for sustained high-utilization workloads.
• Monitor GPU temperatures using a tool such as GPU-Z, HWiNFO64, or your platform’s equivalent.
• Back up critical data before running experimental model configurations or Docker-based stacks.
• Review the official documentation for any runtime (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio) before executing startup scripts.
• Verify that your power supply can sustain the peak TDP of your GPU under continuous inference load.

Editorial independence

OpenSourcesAI keeps editorial guidance developer-first and educational. Tool and model coverage is based on practical fit, known limitations, source quality, and real builder workflows. Affiliate and sponsor relationships do not override editorial judgement.

Accuracy and corrections

AI tools, models, licenses, benchmarks, and pricing change quickly. OpenSourcesAI prioritizes current and accurate guidance, but readers should independently verify licensing, security posture, and production fit before making technical or commercial decisions.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, OpenSourcesAI and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, information or code published on this site — including but not limited to hardware damage, data loss, financial loss, or loss of profits — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
