the upstream model card declares the checkpoint under the mit license. kriti
retains its conformer encoder, prediction network, and nepali rnnt weights. the
kriti release adds language-specific pruning, runtime embedding compaction, a
1,025-parameter acoustic danda head, artifact verification, and public
reproduction code.

openslr 54, openslr 43, fleurs, and indicvoices source material retain their
respective licenses and access terms. their speech, transcripts, speaker
metadata, and row manifests are excluded from both the source repository and
the model repository.

benchmark checkpoints retain the authorship, ownership, model cards, and terms
published by their respective maintainers. references.md records their exact
role in the released research record.
