| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional SSM-Transformer hybrid (Mamba) with 256K context. Jamba Open Model License permits commercial use below $50M annual revenue; above that, paid licence required. Israel jurisdiction; EU adequacy decision in place. | Blocked Per current documentation, the MiniMax Non-Commercial License prohibits commercial deployment without individually negotiated written authorization from MiniMax, making the weights unsuitable for EU commercial workloads out-of-the-box. Opaque training data and Shanghai-based publisher compound the EU AI Act and data-transfer gaps. |
