| # NEO mixed-GGUF native runtime notices |
|
|
| Paiton runtime artifacts and the public plugin are distributed under the root |
| Apache-2.0 license. The proprietary compiler and generated implementation source |
| are not distributed. The rights-holder authorization for generated runtime |
| binaries recorded in the existing Qwen3.8 release process applies. |
|
|
| The GGUF format and quantization algorithms are based on ggml/llama.cpp revision |
| `434ddbbc0e30522e897670681e503b797c12b7c1`. Preserve the ggml authors' MIT notice |
| in [LICENSES/ggml-MIT.txt](LICENSES/ggml-MIT.txt). The compiled attention path uses |
| AMD rocWMMA from the pinned ROCm 7.14 build; its MIT notice is included in |
| [LICENSES/rocWMMA-MIT.txt](LICENSES/rocWMMA-MIT.txt). Existing root LICENSES retain |
| notices for inherited runtime dependencies, including Composable Kernel, AITER, |
| flash-linear-attention and Triton. These inherited packages belong to the |
| external vLLM stack; the new Paiton model is compiled from native HIP/C++ without |
| Torch or Triton imports or generated Triton kernels. |
|
|
| The native vision encoder follows the Qwen3-VL/Qwen3.5 architecture and the |
| selected GGUF projector contract. Its HIP positional interpolation, layer |
| normalization, rotary attention and merger replace the external vision model; |
| vLLM and Transformers provide image preprocessing and API integration under |
| their existing Apache-2.0 notices. No Triton vision kernel is compiled or |
| embedded into the Paiton artifact. |
|
|
| The runtime reuses the pinned public vLLM/ROCm image documented in the Dockerfile. |
| Its notices remain under `/licenses`. The NEO image removes the unrelated Qronos |
| payload and Transformers' test-only `testing_utils` fixture, which embeds a |
| sandbox CI token. No production model weights or tokenizer values are altered |
| by this cleanup. Runtime dependency licenses also remain with their installed |
| packages; the release's dependency SBOM records their exact versions. |
|
|
| Model weights are downloaded separately from the author's pinned repository. |
| The GGUF and author-source repositories declare Apache-2.0. Exact repository |
| revisions, file hashes, tokenizer provenance and the selected mixed tensor |
| formats are recorded in `checkpoint.lock.json`. Paiton preserves the selected |
| GGUF packed weight values; it does not claim authorship of the fine-tune or |
| redistribute it as a new quantization. Neither the base Qwen checkpoint nor the |
| AMD Qronos fine-tune substitutes for these weights. MTP tensors remain in the |
| upstream file but are not loaded into the qualified target-only model. |
