Confidence: low. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Capability | 35% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Reach | 25% | 38.5 | 65 | 25.0 |\n| Risk | 20% | 30.8 | 50 | 15.4 |\n| Agent interface | 10% | 15.4 | 85 | 13.1 |\n| Documentation and upkeep | 10% | 15.4 | 50 | 7.7 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **61 → C** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Capability: Pending for this listing. Nobody independent has published results for it in at least two areas yet, so its weight is shared across the other four and the total is capped at 61 until they do or our own runs start.\n- Reach 65 (checked 2026-11-10): Memory 20, the smallest build at 4 bits is LG's IQ4_XS GGUF, 18.03 GB with the 2.57 GB projector, and 20.60 GB × 1.2 = 24.7 GB, within 32 GB. Without the projector, for text only, it would fit 24 GB. Runtimes 15, Released vLLM 0.33.0 has exaone4_5.py, Transformers 5.22.2 has the exaone4_5 model, and llama.cpp b12242 has the architecture, with LG's own GGUF. Three at 5 each. Builds 15, LG publishes GGUF at five quantised precisions, an AWQ build and an FP8 build. Terms 5, Research and educational use only. Download 10, the Hub API reports gated false for all four repositories on 10 November 2026, so the files download with no account and no click-through, though the licence says downloading is acceptance. Hosted 0, Hugging Face maps no inference provider to it, and the card names no API that serves it. 20 + 15 + 15 + 5 + 10 + 0 = 65.\n- Risk 50 (checked 2026-11-10): File safety 25, safetensors and GGUF only, no .bin, .pt or .pth files and no Python in the repository. Provenance 15, the files sit in the LGAI-EXAONE organisation (LG AI Research on the Hub), which the card's GitHub repository shares a name with and the licence in the repository is LG's (10). Safety evaluation 0, no safety results on the card. Agent guidance 5, General cautions: the limitation section lists inappropriate, biased, incorrect and outdated answers and tells users not to try to induce harmful output. Licence risk 5, 15 less 5 for field-of-use limits beyond the law (no commercial use, no building competing models) and 5 for terms the licensor can change or revoke (LG may amend the agreement at any time, and the licence is revocable). Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw on the card beyond a support contact, and www.lgresearch.ai has no security.txt. 25 + 15 + 0 + 5 + 5 + 0 = 50.\n- Agent interface 85 (checked 2026-11-10): Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (5,930 characters). Tool-calling format 25, the card's vLLM command names the parser, hermes with auto tool choice, and its agentic example calls tools from MCP servers through the OpenAI-compatible API, so declaration and return follow that API. Trained tool calling 20, the card reports agentic tool use among its language results and shows an agent run with several tool servers, and the template renders every call in a turn. Structured output 0, Nothing on the card about JSON or schema-constrained output. Reasoning control 10, enable_thinking is on by default and the card says to set it false for the non-reasoning mode, with an example of each. Context 10, 262,144 tokens per the card's configuration table and config.json, and the card's serve commands run at that length. 20 + 25 + 20 + 0 + 10 + 10 = 85.\n- Documentation and upkeep 50 (checked 2026-11-10): Model card 20, Uses (the quickstart's question answering, document and agent examples), limitations, the architecture, the parameters, the context, the languages (in the metadata) and a knowledge cut-off of December 2024 are all on the card. Training data 5, A knowledge cut-off and one line on excluding personal, harmful and biased content, with no sources or sizes. Last change 10, the main repository last changed on 6 July 2026 (dependencies moved to official releases), 127 days before this check, and the FP8 repository on 9 August, 93 days. Responsiveness 0, none of the 5 most recent discussions that aren't pull requests (13 April to 4 May 2026) has a reply from an LGAI-EXAONE member, counted on 10 November by author flags and dates with a script, text not read. Version policy 5, EXAONE 4.0 and 4.0.1 stay in their own repositories and 4.5 came out in new ones, with no dated note on the older cards that we read. File health 10, Config, template and card agree on the architecture and the 262,144 tokens, and a July commit moved the dependencies to released versions. 20 + 5 + 10 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 50.\n\nFix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (14 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/exaone-4-5-33b.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/exaone-4-5-33b.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{\"listing\": \"exaone-4-5-33b\", \"plan\": \"read\"}`, free while the beta runs\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- It's a non-commercial model in a directory mostly used for commercial work. The terms are stated first in the notes for agents\n- Memory reads the IQ4_XS file with its projector, 24.7 GB with the fifth added, which just misses the 24 GB band\n- Provenance takes the LGAI-EXAONE organisation as LG's on the licence and the card. LG's site gave too little text to confirm a link\n- Security programme is 0 on the card and the research site. LG's corporate security pages weren't looked up\n- Capability is pending because no independent results were looked up on the day\n- unchecked on 10 November: the technical report (arXiv 2604.08644), the blog post, the GitHub repository, TensorRT-LLM's docs, Ollama's library, LM Studio's catalogue, and LG's corporate pages\n\n### Sources\n\n- model card: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- gating, dates, parameter count, downloads, likes, file list and hashes: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B?blobs=true\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- LG's GGUF repository: files and sizes: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B-GGUF?blobs=true\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- the AWQ repository: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B-AWQ?blobs=true\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- the FP8 repository: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B-FP8?blobs=true\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- inference providers, none mapped: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B?expand[]=inferenceProviderMapping\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- commit history: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/commits/main\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- architecture and positions: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/raw/main/config.json\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- chat template: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/raw/main/chat_template.jinja\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- the licence: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/raw/main/LICENSE\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- discussions, replies counted by script from authors, dates and member flags: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/discussions\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- the organisation's profile on the Hub, not marked verified: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/organizations/LGAI-EXAONE/overview\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- the organisation's other repositories: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/api/models?author=LGAI-EXAONE\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- robots.txt for www.lgresearch.ai: \u003chttps://www.lgresearch.ai/robots.txt\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- LG AI Research's home page: \u003chttps://www.lgresearch.ai/\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- security.txt, 404: \u003chttps://www.lgresearch.ai/.well-known/security.txt\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- vLLM v0.33.0, exaone4_5.py: \u003chttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/vllm-project/vllm/v0.33.0/vllm/model_executor/models/exaone4_5.py\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- Transformers v5.22.2 exaone4_5: \u003chttps://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/v5.22.2/src/transformers/models/exaone4_5\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n- llama.cpp b12242, the exaone architecture (shallow clone): \u003chttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/b12242/src/llama-arch.cpp\u003e (seen 2026-11-10)\n\n## Score history\n\nEvery move of a score since the listing was graded, newest first, with its cause.

How the two relate wasn't read first-hand.\n\nwww.lgresearch.ai's robots.txt allows reading. Its home page gave little text and its about page a 404, so no people or ownership facts were taken from it.\n\nThe domain's registration date wasn't looked up. www.lgresearch.ai has no security.txt (404 on 10 November 2026).\n\nNothing is hosted under this listing, so the model licence stands in for terms of service and no privacy policy is scored.\n\nThe changelog is the commit history, 8 commits from 9 April to 6 July 2026.\n\n### Terms and privacy, as read\n\nA reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice.\n\n**Terms of service** (https://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/blob/main/LICENSE), not read yet.\n\n\n**Privacy policy**. Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there is no privacy policy to read and the check isn't scored.\n\n\n## Humans behind the project (researched 2026-11-10 from public pages, not part of the grade)\n\n### Key people\n\n- No people named yet.\n- Note: The model card credits LG AI Research and names no people, and the licence names LG Management Development Institute Co., Ltd. as licensor. LG AI Research's site, read on 10 November 2026, gave a menu and little other text, and its about page answered 404, so no people are listed and ownership is recorded as unknown.\n- LG AI Research: GitHub https://github.com/LG-AI-EXAONE\n\n### Getting support\n\n- Help: https://github.com/LG-AI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5\n- Community (Hugging Face discussions): https://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/discussions\n- Sources: https://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B, https://huggingface.co/LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B/blob/main/LICENSE, https://www.lgresearch.ai/\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\nNo hosted version of these weights has a price on OpenRouter, so what a task costs is your own hardware and power.\n\n## Strengths\n\n- A complete card, down to a knowledge cut-off\n- GGUF, AWQ and FP8 builds from LG\n- Released vLLM, Transformers and llama.cpp run it with no repository code\n- Tool calling and reasoning control documented with parsers\n- A 256K context, served on one large GPU\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- Research and education only. No commercial use of the model or its output\n- LG can amend the licence at any time, and it's revocable\n- No building models that compete with LG's\n- No reply from LG on the repository's discussions\n- Not changed since the summer\n- No safety results or training data sources on the card\n\n\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. Don't use it, or anything it writes, commercially. The licence covers the output too\n2. Serve it with vLLM and `--reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser hermes`\n3. Set `enable_thinking` false for a direct answer. Thinking is on by default\n4. Use temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and presence_penalty 1.5 in general, and temperature 0.6 with top_k 20 for documents and Korean\n5. For llama.cpp, load a projector file from LG's GGUF repository with the weights for image input\n6. Its knowledge stops at December 2024\n\n## Get started\n\nInstall:\n\n```bash\npip install \"vllm\u003e=0.33.0\" \"transformers\u003e=5.8.0\"\nvllm serve LGAI-EXAONE/EXAONE-4.5-33B --max-model-len 262144 --reasoning-parser qwen3 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser hermes\n```\n\nFirst request:\n\n```bash\n# vLLM serves an OpenAI-compatible API at http://localhost:8000/v1. The card recommends temperature 1.0,\n# top_p 0.95 and presence_penalty 1.5, and enable_thinking false for a direct answer\n```\n\n## Similar tools\n\nRanked by shared capabilities, then score.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on lgresearch.ai or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"exaone-4-5-33b\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp.
