Where this comes from
Every score names who ran it: vendor-reported, maintainer-run or independent. A rank is shown with the population it was ranked in (gap rule 3).

Parent and child relations from model cards, Hugging Face base_model fields and the genealogy tables of the research notes. The tree shows two generations each way, 2 models. Confidence and evidence are the notes' own.
Identity
Where this comes from
Developer and dates from the research notes. Release date is the vendor's public announcement; weights date is when open weights were published.
