Can I Ship This Model? — Pro Edition helps teams identify licensing and compliance concerns in Hugging Face models and datasets before deployment. Get a clear scan verdict, traceable evidence, and reports your team can review—without AI-generated analysis or an API key.

Know what you’re shipping

A model’s metadata tag may not tell the whole story. This downloadable auditor checks repository files and declared dataset dependencies using deterministic rules, helping you spot issues that may need further review before a model reaches production.

1. Clear verdicts: BLOCKED, REVIEW_REQUIRED, NO_BLOCKER_DETECTED, or INCOMPLETE.
2. Verifiable evidence: Findings include file paths, text excerpts, SHA-256 hashes, and the pinned commit.
3. 12 compliance rules: Checks include missing licenses, non-commercial clauses, metadata contradictions, copyleft, restrictive terms, and upstream dataset licensing.
4. Dataset verification: Queries the Hugging Face API for declared datasets and flags missing licenses.
5. Useful exports: Generate a CycloneDX v1.6 ML-BOM, SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning, and a signable HTML report.
6. Development workflow support: Scan up to 10 models in parallel and use SARIF results to help block non-compliant pull requests.

For development and compliance teams

Designed for developers shipping fine-tuned models, product teams integrating Hugging Face models, compliance officers documenting model registries, and CTOs setting deployment gates.

No API key or LLM is required. The included reference benchmarks work offline; scanning new models live from Hugging Face requires an internet connection. Scans pin the model’s commit so results can be tied to a specific version.

This tool is not legal advice, a patent scan, or a substitute for a lawyer. Its reports compile verifiable evidence for your legal team to assess. A free edition is available on Hugging Face for testing the core scanner.
