Evidence claims

[upstream_claim] README lists image generation (FLUX, Stable Diffusion/SDXL), LoRA/QLoRA in the lora folder, Wan2.1 video generation, and audio/multimodal examples; points LLM users to MLX LM as the more featureful package. 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.
