| Verdict | Conditional Enterprise-focused 104B model, strong at RAG and multilingual tool use. Weights are released under CC-BY-NC 4.0 — non-commercial only. Commercial deployment goes through Cohere's API (see Cohere API entry). | Blocked Per the Tencent Hy Community License Agreement (Sections 1(l) and 5(c)), the licence's defined Territory excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom and South Korea, and licensees are expressly prohibited from using, distributing or displaying the model or its outputs outside that Territory. Under those terms the weights are not deployable for EU users or workloads, regardless of architecture quality. |
