All tools, models, and datasets are released under permissive licenses and freely available to everyone.
Reproducible
An emphasis on documented methods, versioned releases, and transparent evaluation so results can be verified and built upon.
Accessible
Designed for researchers, developers, and students alike, with clear documentation and low barriers to entry.
