| Summary | ||
| Verdict | EU-ready Enterprise-focused Granite 3 family under Apache 2.0, with unusual-for-the-industry training-data disclosure. IBM provides IP indemnification when used via watsonx. Strong default for regulated enterprise pilots. | Conditional Per the published Apache 2.0 LICENSE, the Hunyuan-MT2 30B-A3B weights are deployable without commercial restriction — this is a specialised fast-thinking translation model covering 36 languages, not a general-purpose chat backbone. The blockers for regulated EU use are Tencent's Chinese jurisdiction and a model card that names no training corpora; self-host the weights and prepare a deployer-side GPAI compliance file before processing personal data. |
