Evidence claims

[upstream_claim] README versions: PuLID-v1 (SDXL, May 2024), v1.1 (31 Oct 2024), PuLID-FLUX-v0.9.0 (Sep 2024) and v0.9.1 (31 Oct 2024, claims about 5 percentage point ID-fidelity gain). source
[upstream_claim] README says PuLID-FLUX can run on a 16GB card after optimisation and the local Gradio demo supports 12GB cards; FP8 path needs PyTorch 2.4.1+. source
[sourced_fact] README gives Apache-2.0 for code but states no license for the weights (hosted at guozinan/PuLID on Hugging Face) or for dependencies. source
[upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
