The README presents Unsloth as an app and library for running and fine-tuning models.

Source: https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth

What it supplies: The README presents Unsloth as an app and library for running and fine-tuning models.

Useful for: - Run models in a desktop app.
- Train models from code with Unsloth Core.

First action: - Download the desktop app, or run the install script.
- For code, create a uv environment and run uv pip install unsloth.

Prerequisites and limits: The README example uses Python 3.13 in a uv environment and pins a Python version with an environment variable.

- Piping an install script to a shell runs remote code; inspect it or use the download.
- AGPL-3.0 components have network-use obligations.

Source-documented: core under Apache 2.0, some optional components such as the Studio UI under AGPL-3.0. Check which parts you use.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on opening, get-started, Unsloth Core install and licensing README text only; other sections were not read. Nothing was installed or run.
