| Summary | ||
| Verdict | Conditional Per the published LICENSE file, Kimi-K2.6 ships under a Modified MIT licence: identical to standard MIT for almost all deployers, with an additional UI-attribution requirement only for products exceeding 100M monthly active users or USD 20M monthly revenue. The genuine EU-readiness concerns are the China-based vendor and the absence of any training-data disclosure rather than the licence itself. | Conditional Per the NVIDIA Open Model Agreement, Nemotron-3 Nano Omni is commercially usable with a NOTICE-file attribution requirement and U.S. export-compliance obligations. Multimodal MoE (31B total / 3B active) accepting video, audio, image and text input, with reasoning-style chain-of-thought output. Training data is unusually well-documented (1,395 datasets, modality breakdown, CSAM scanning) — useful for AI Act Article 53 mapping. Vendor jurisdiction remains the US. |
