NXAI COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT

Preamble 1
We are proud to present the NXAI xLSTM 7B model and software, demonstrating the strength of next-generation RNN-based large language models, delivering high-quality performance and fast inference speeds. While xLSTM 7B is freely available for open research and development, we believe that organizations significantly benefiting from our technology should contribute back. Our goal is to support research, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and open innovation, while ensuring that large enterprises who incorporate xLSTM 7B into commercial products or services fairly compensate the creators for their research and development efforts.
