Attribution
Our models and SDKs are free to use in your product for most apps, up to 100,000 monthly active devices per platform. In return, we ask that you credit Desert Ant Labs somewhere your users can find it. We've kept it easy and flexible.
The formal wording is Section 9 of the license.
What a good credit looks like
A short line that names Desert Ant Labs and links to https://desertant.ai:
- Powered by Desert Ant Labs 🐜
- On-device AI by Desert Ant Labs
- Emo by Desert Ant Labs: naming the specific model is great too
- The ant (🐜) may sit next to the name (Powered by Desert Ant Labs 🐜), but it does not replace the name.
Where the medium can't carry a link – offline use, an embedded surface, an exported image – the text on its own is fine.
What doesn't count
- "Desert Ant Labs" alone, with no context, in a place users won't find.
- A credit hidden where a user could never reasonably reach it.
Where to put it
One placement in a reasonably discoverable location is enough. You don't have to show it on every screen or during use. Any of these works:
- an About, Settings, Credits, Licenses, or Acknowledgements screen
- your App Store / Google Play listing
- an about, legal, or licenses page on your website
For a product with no user-visible surface (a background service, say), crediting us in your documentation or repository is enough.
Logo option
Instead of, or alongside, the text credit you may use the Desert Ant Labs logo. The full lockup is preferred; the ant mark on its own is for tight spaces (a favicon, an app-icon corner).
Logo (mark and name):
Ant mark (compact):
Guidelines: give the logo clear space on all sides, at least half the mark's height; don't recolor, rotate, distort, or add effects; and pair the mark with the "Desert Ant Labs" name where the mark alone wouldn't identify us. When in doubt, use the text credit.
Commercial and custom licenses
A commercial or custom license may vary or waive this requirement. If you have a signed agreement with Desert Ant Labs, its terms control.
