}Evidence claims
- [upstream_claim] README: official implementation of 'Effective Whole-body Pose Estimation with Two-stages Distillation' (ICCV 2023 workshop); provides models from tiny to large and states DWPose replaces OpenPose for ControlNet (dw_openpose_full preprocessor in sd-webui-controlnet). source
- [sourced_fact] Newest news item on the page is dated 2023/12/03; pretrained weights hosted on Baidu Drive, Google Drive and Hugging Face with no weights license stated. 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.
