Find permissive replacement models when a vendored license turns restrictive
When a vendored model's license becomes restrictive, searches for comparable permissively-licensed alternatives on HuggingFace and the web.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Turns a license problem into a shortlist of fixes. When a watched model's HuggingFace license changes to a restrictive term, this workflow searches HuggingFace for similar models under permissive licenses (Apache-2.0, MIT, BSD) and runs a web search for migration discussion and benchmarks. An agent assembles a brief ranking the candidate replacements by license, popularity, and task fit, and files it in Coda as an actionable options note.
When to use it
Use it when a restriction is confirmed and the next question is always "what do we move to." It saves the manual hours of hunting for drop-in alternatives and gives the decision-maker a ready comparison instead of a blank page.
How it works
The flow triggers from a Coda webhook fired by your license-watch log when a row is marked restrictive. It reads the affected model's task and architecture, queries HuggingFace for same-task models filtered to permissive licenses, and runs a Brave web search for community migration notes. An agent ranks the candidates and writes a structured replacement brief. The output is posted as a new Coda doc page linked to the original risk row.
