Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README links TAP-Vid, TAPIR, RoboTAP, BootsTAP, TAPVid-3D, TAPNext and TRAJAN; Colabs include Online TAPIR; achieves ~17 fps on 480x480 on a Quadro RTX 4000 per README. · locator: README header and Colab list · source: https://github.com/google-deepmind/tapnet
- [sourced_fact] README License and Disclaimer: all software is Apache 2.0 except TAPVid-3D benchmark materials covered by tapvid3d/LICENSE. · locator: README, License and Disclaimer · source: https://github.com/google-deepmind/tapnet
- [sourced_fact] Checkpoints are loaded from tapnet/checkpoint/ (checkpoint.npy) and are downloadable from the README or HuggingFace google/tapnet. · locator: README, checkpoints · source: https://github.com/google-deepmind/tapnet
- [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.
