Permitted channelsList of values: Channels explicitly permitted by the agreement.
TerritoriesList of values: Territories explicitly included in the license.
End dateDate · optional: Explicit license end date; null when absent.

Collecting feedback · 1/3

Extract the stated usage rights from the supplied license excerpt.

Example 1 of 3

Website rights do not include social distribution

Model input

Extraction rules: Synthetic license extraction rules. Extract only the supplied agreement’s permitted channels, territories, end date, and attribution requirement. Do not infer worldwide, perpetual, or cross-channel rights. Use null when an end date or attribution requirement is absent. This task extracts stated terms rather than deciding a proposed use.
Agreement: Synthetic license: The publisher may display the photograph on its website in the United States through 2027-06-30. Social media distribution is excluded. Credit to the photographer is required.

Step 02

Model Sweep

Compare models on the same expert annotations, then choose a quality–cost tradeoff.

Compare models on expert agreement and cost. The interactive chart uses illustrative measurements.

Illustrative sweep · select Value or Best to use that model in your function.

Step 03

Deployment

Call Sutro Functions like any other software. Swap the model as soon as something more performant is released.
