Expanded Safe Model Discovery

M8 discovery uses the official Hugging Face provider for live metadata, file inventory and exact commit resolution. Popularity is a discovery signal only. Each shortlisted candidate records safe artifact availability, byte size, license capture, runtime expectations, storage/GPU fit and a typed outcome. Blocked candidates retain unknown quality rather than receiving a synthetic zero.

The bounded shortlist was:

Candidate Exact revision Safe evidence Outcome
Qwen3-Embedding-4B 5cf2132abc99cad020ac570b19d031efec650f2b Safetensors, Apache-2.0 metadata, 8,059,503,129 bytes discovery_gpu_fit_blocked

multilingual-e5-large-instruct 274baa43b0e13e37fafa6428dbc7938e62e5c439 15 selected safe paths, 11 unique blobs, 1,164,135,840 bytes fully evaluated

Only E5-large-instruct was downloaded because it passed preflight and was the strongest justified bounded experiment. E5-base was not downloaded after that choice. Qwen 4B was not forced into VRAM; BGE-M3 policy was not weakened.
