Conventions
How the records are read and written: the conventions applied to every record, the gap rules, what is our analysis, and how the directory is edited.
Three Kinds of Statement
Research
A fact from a public source, with the source linked on the record. Most of the directory.
Our Analysis
AURION's own assessment, marked proposed until reviewed. The R&D topic tier grades are the main case.
Silent or Unverified
Shown in this colour: unknown. The notes give no value, or mark it unverified.
Conventions
- D1Country
A dual label when the HQ country and the founding or parent country differ, HQ first, for example UK / USA.
- D2Release date
The vendor's public announcement date. Open models also carry the date the weights were published.
- D3Licence
The licence file governs over registry tags and aggregator labels.
- D4Benchmarks
Every score is tagged vendor-reported, maintainer-run or independent.
Gap Rules
- 1Rule 1
A repo with no licence file: the model card plus the publisher's statement, flagged as such.
- 2Rule 2
An undated announcement: an inferred date, with its basis recorded.
- 3Rule 3
Every rank records the population it was ranked in.
Open Research Points

How the Directory Is Edited
- Records are JSON files in the AURION repository.
- They are edited through Claude Code, not a form on this site.
- Every edit is checked against the schema,
- shown on a local copy for review,
- and committed with its author and date.
