Correction: two of our own claims did not survive verification
Binding claims to verbatim source text caught two errors in our published data. (1) We stated NVIDIA's hosted API trial carries a no-training clause; the Trial Terms in fact reserve use of submitted content 'to improve NVIDIA products and services, including AI models' — the opposite. The data-governance summary and retention field are corrected and the clause is now quoted directly. (2) Our Gemini transparency entries credited the model card with naming external testers (UK AISI, Apollo, Vaultis, Dreadnode); the archived card names none of them, so that requirement now rests on Google's release materials and is flagged as needing a better primary citation. Published rather than silently fixed, per the methodology.
