K2-Horizon-0.9B License Clarification

#3
by Vo-Tron - opened

Hello,

I have a question about the licensing/usage terms for IFM/K2-Horizon-0.9B.

The Hugging Face repository currently identifies the model as Apache-2.0, but I noticed residual metadata associated with the model that appears to indicate internal-only.

Could you please clarify which status is authoritative?

Specifically:

  1. Are the internal-only fields intentional and currently applicable to K2-Horizon-0.9B, or are they stale/incorrect metadata?

  2. If they are stale, is there an authoritative revision or repository update that corrects them?

  3. Is Apache-2.0 the governing license for the released model and weights?

  4. Does that license/status permit:

    • research and evaluation;
    • local inference/use;
    • fine-tuning or other derivative work;
    • redistribution;
    • commercial use?

If there is a specific LICENSE file, commit, or first-party document that governs these rights, a link to it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi, @Vo-Tron

For your questions:

  1. No, there are no intentional internal-only field from our side. Could you also help point out what that is? We can investigate and correct the metadata.
  2. We will if we can identify them.
  3. Yes it is Apache-2.0
  4. Yes that's the implication of the license and our goal for open source
  5. We will check. If we miss the upload we will do so.

Thank you. The fields I was referring to are in the README front matter:

license_name: internal-only
license_link: LICENSE

I also observed the same licensing pattern on the -0.9B-GGUF repository.

That appears inconsistent with the repository's Apache-2.0 designation and your clarification above. I wanted to point you to the exact fields you asked about.

Thank you for checking.

This is actually a mistake when we batch processed our documents. We will fix these.

Thanks for catching this!
