Limitations

The LICENSE file (not just the model-card tag, which Hugging Face shows as the generic "other") is titled a NON-COMMERCIAL LICENSE: it requires prior written authorization for any commercial deployment and prohibits certain use categories (military, exploitation of minors, disinformation, discrimination). No official or community GGUF exists, so local single-GPU deployment isn't realistic regardless of the license question.

Context window and limits: 204,800 tokens, confirmed from the model's published config.
