You may

• Use, modify, and redistribute the weights under the applicable open-source license.

Security / dual-use models

If the model card labels the release as security, cyber, pentest, sentry, or cipher:

• Use only on systems you own or have explicit authorization to test.
• Do not ship raw exploit packs derived solely to harm third parties as “Vext official.”

No support for criminal use

Vext Labs provides no support for illegal use. We may refuse assistance and may report credible threats of imminent harm where required by law.
