Models & Licenses

BonzAI supports many independently licensed models. Running a model locally does not cancel its license.

Read a license in Desktop

1. Open Help → Licenses.

2. Sort by license type.

3. Select a model.

4. Read the included license text and usage notes.

BonzAI stores readable license information in the application rather than telling users to find an upstream card themselves.

Questions to check

• Is commercial use allowed?

• Is redistribution allowed?

• Are generated outputs restricted?

• Are safety controls required?

• Can the model be fine-tuned or abliterated?

• Must attribution or a license copy accompany distribution?

Custom GGUF

When importing a custom GGUF language model, the user is responsible for its origin and license. BonzAI cannot infer rights from the filename alone.
