| Summary | ||
| Verdict | 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. | Conditional Per current documentation, Llama 3.1 8B Instruct is released under the Llama 3.1 Community Licence — a custom source-available licence rather than OSI open source. Commercial deployment is permitted below 700M MAU subject to the Acceptable Use Policy and attribution rules, but training-data opacity and US origin create EU AI Act transparency and data-transfer gaps that deployers should document. |
