}Evidence claims
- [upstream_claim] README: ICLR 2024 Spotlight; v1-v3 motion modules, SDXL-Beta on a separate branch, ~74 MB MotionLoRA camera-move adapters, SparseCtrl RGB/scribble encoders. source
- [upstream_claim] README notes v3 has noticeable flicker; SDXL inference usually needs ~13 GB VRAM; says the project is released for academic use while listing Apache-2.0. source
- [upstream_claim] HF repo guoyww/animatediff lists Apache-2.0 metadata with no license text. source
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: disputed (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.
