Attribution: BAAI, “bge-large-zh-v1.5 model card (README.md)”, 2023-09-12.
Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, Chinese frontier-AI institutions, third collection (research/china-labs-3). The quotation (2 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-29 and again in a fresh retrieval the same day, read directly from the publisher. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-31, item K032) answered the record’s question blind from fresh retrievals and agreed with the record. No human editorial review.

Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, Chinese frontier-AI institutions, third collection (research/china-labs-3). The quotation (19 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-29 and again in a fresh retrieval the same day, read directly from the publisher. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. Elided quotation: the ellipses mark omitted words, so the passage is not continuous in the source. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-31, item K032) answered the record’s question blind from fresh retrievals and agreed with the record. No human editorial review.

Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. Publication of a specific document or version. Publication of a policy is not evidence of implementation.

Date. Date of the cited README commit, the day the repository was initialised; the card's own update list dates the release of the bge-*-v1.5 models to 09/12/2023.
