Drag to pan · Scroll or pinch to zoom · Select a model to trace its lineage and inspect the record. Each column is one lab, so a family's newest model sits above its predecessor. Branch color marks architectural evolution; solid lines are direct parents and dashed lines are influences. Filled nodes are open source or open weights. Dashed outlines mark lower-confidence placement.
