Responsible use
How we expect nodes, models and data to be used by people who learn with us.
Last updated September 2026
Run models you are allowed to run
Check the licence of every model and dataset you deploy on a node. Local hosting does not change licensing obligations.
Handle other people's data carefully
Local inference can reduce data movement, but it does not remove your duties. Decide what a node stores, for how long, who can reach it, and what happens to the disk at end of life.
Do not use a teaching node to process sensitive personal data unless the site, network and access controls have been reviewed properly.
Be honest about energy claims
If you publish figures from a node, publish the measurement method and period with them. Do not present short favourable windows as annual performance.
No harmful applications
Do not use our material or pilot support to build surveillance of individuals without consent, targeted harassment tooling, or systems intended to deceive people about their nature.
