Why ModelDNA

More than a similarity score.

🧬

Deep Derivative Detection

We compare against 2,200+ verified architectures across 545 organizations. Identifies fine-tunes, distillations, and repackaged models that config checks miss.

Two-Stage Analysis

Stage 1 screens architecture configs instantly (free, unlimited). Stage 2 computes five weight-level signals for definitive lineage determination.

📋

Audit-Ready Output

Pro plans export SBOM-compatible reports and PDF audit trails with lineage origin, technique provenance, and compliance verdict — ready for governance review.

Process

Two stages. One verdict.

1

Architecture Screening

We parse the model config to identify architecture family, vocab, and technique signatures. Resolves the majority of cases instantly.

FREE · UNLIMITED · <3s
2

Weight-Level Analysis
ROADMAP

Five statistical signals (EAS, END, NLF, LEP, WVC) will analyze weight distributions to detect derivative relationships configs can't reveal.

STAGE 2 · Coming soon
3

Enriched Verdict

Composite DNA score, lineage classification, and optional ModelAtlas enrichment — VRAM estimates, ARS scores, and technique origin chain.

PRO · JSON / PDF / SBOM
Pricing

Developer-priced. Enterprise-capable.

The ModelAtlas knowledge engine runs on RadicalNotion infrastructure. You get enterprise-grade depth at a fraction of incumbent pricing.

All scanning is Stage 1 — architecture screening from config.json only. No weight download required. Stage 2 weight-level analysis is on the roadmap.
