Model publishers are encouraged to state explicitly what their model is designed to do and what uses they consider inappropriate or outside the model's intended purpose.
This analysis describes what Hugging Face's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
Intended use declarations define the scope of responsible use as understood by the model publisher, and out-of-scope use declarations may be relevant to liability allocation if a model is deployed in a context the publisher explicitly identified as inappropriate.
Interpretive note: The document describes intended use documentation as a recommendation rather than a mandatory requirement, so the presence and completeness of this information varies by model publisher.
The intended use section of a model card tells users what the publisher designed the model for, while the out-of-scope section identifies uses the publisher has explicitly flagged as problematic, which users and organizations should review before integrating any model.
