Risk explanation
The weights are gated on Hugging Face, so evaluation depends on accepting the access gate before the local install can actually download the model; The default prompt rewrite path calls Ideogram's hosted magic-prompt API, so verify your offline and data-handling requirements before you depend on that convenience layer.
