Model openness

What each model makes available.

Back to leaderboard →

Six icons describe each model’s weights, license, training code, training data, paper and documentation, following Danish ASR and MTEB. Red icons mark confirmed availability. Hover over an icon on the leaderboard for an explanation, or select it to read the evidence.

What each icon means
Weights
Downloadable model weights, including releases that require accepting terms.
Open license
A license permitting use, modification and redistribution, including commercial use, without field-of-use restrictions.
Training code
Public code and a recipe for the training that produced this checkpoint; inference code and generic fine-tuning tutorials are insufficient.
Training data
The complete training corpus is publicly available, or can be reconstructed from public sources and a released recipe. A description alone is insufficient.
Paper / report
A public technical paper or report describing this model.
Model documentation
Public documentation of the model, its intended use and how to run it.

Checks apply to the evaluated model’s published materials. Faded icons can mean partial availability, a closed release, or insufficient information; each is labelled separately in the evidence. The criteria are not combined into a score.

These are ScandiOCR’s assessments. Openness does not affect OCR scores or rankings.
