HyGPT Permissive Use License
Version 2.4, June 30, 2025

Our Philosophy
Gen2B believes in making powerful AI broadly accessible to fuel innovation, research, and creativity. This license is designed to be as permissive as possible for individuals, creators, researchers, and most companies. It allows for free and unrestricted use for the vast majority of cases, including most commercial applications.
To ensure the sustainable development and responsible deployment of HyGPT, we ask that organizations in a few specific, high-value industrial sectors contact us to ensure responsible deployment and partnership. This approach allows us to maintain the model and support our community.

Partnership & Custom Fine-Tuning
This is the general version of HyGPT. If you need to fine-tune this model for your specific needs, we would love to partner with you. Please don't hesitate to contact us at: info@gen2b.ai

1. Permitted Use: What You CAN Do
Subject to the conditions in this license, Gen2B grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and create derivative works of the HyGPT Model ("Model").
This grant of use explicitly includes:
- Personal Use & Non-Commercial Research: Use of the Model for any personal project, experimentation, or academic research.
- Commercial Use for Most Businesses: Use of the Model for internal commercial purposes within your company or by you as an individual. This applies to all businesses except those whose primary operations are in the sectors listed in Section 2.

2. Use Requiring Specific Permission from Gen2B
This license does not grant the right to use the Model if your organization's primary business is in one of the following sectors. You must contact us for permission before any such use:
- Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI)
- Telecommunications
- Cloud Service Providers (i.e., offering infrastructure, platforms, or software as a service - IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)
Similarly, you must contact us for permission if you intend to:
- Resell or Host the Model: You may not sell, sublicense, or offer the Model as a hosted service where third parties can send requests to the Model and receive responses without explicit permission.
If your use case falls into the categories above, we'd love to partner with you. Please contact us to discuss permission for your use case at: info@gen2b.ai

3. Mandatory Conditions & Use Restrictions
Your right to use the Model is subject to the following conditions:

You can find the policy at: ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy
- General Limitations: In addition, you may not use the Model to develop or train a competing language model.
