Suitable tasks

Distribute a local trial with an explicitly identified engine and model.

Limits and checks

Features vary with engine version. Documentation notes a Windows limitation for executables over 4 GB and a workflow using external weights.

A repeatable trial

Prepare a small trial on two compatible machines. Record version, weights, file hash and answers to three identical fictional questions.

How to decide

Keep the package when origin, compatibility and reproduced settings can be verified.

Frequently asked questions

Is the same file sufficient to reproduce every answer?

Also keep settings, inputs, version and environment; generation may still vary.

Official documentation and scope

Functions are described from documentation. Proposed trials are editorial advice, not executed benchmarks. Check prices, quotas, access and conditions before choosing.

Consultation covers identification and described functions; performance and all contractual conditions were not tested.
