Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] README: Dramatron uses large language models to generate coherent scripts and screenplays; the Colab is provided without an LLM interface and requires implementing __init__ and sample. · locator: repository README / metadata · source: https://github.com/google-deepmind/dramatron
- [sourced_fact] Apache-2.0 license; not archived; last push 2024-07-16. · locator: LICENSE file · source: https://github.com/google-deepmind/dramatron/blob/main/LICENSE
- [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.
