Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: StarVector is a multimodal VLM for SVG generation, supporting image2SVG and text2SVG by posing generation as code generation; models released on Hugging Face (1B, 8B); SVG-Bench and svg-stack datasets linked. · locator: README intro and news · source: https://github.com/joanrod/star-vector
- [sourced_fact] HF metadata: starvector-1b-im2svg and starvector-8b-im2svg carry license:apache-2.0; datasets/starvector/svg-stack exposes no license tag. · locator: HF API tags · source: https://huggingface.co/api/models/starvector/starvector-8b-im2svg
- [sourced_fact] Repo metadata: Apache-2.0 code, not archived, last push 2025-11-07. · locator: GitHub API fields · source: https://api.github.com/repos/joanrod/star-vector
- [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.
