An LLM Model Selection Checklist for Practical Projects
Choose an LLM by the work it must perform. A practical checklist for evaluating model evidence, deployment choices, and ongoing costs.
Permission is part of an asset’s usable context. A file, platform account, or model download does not explain every allowed use on its own. This reading path shows where to record license terms, keep the relevant evidence, and identify questions that need clarification for a particular project.
Read across virtual objects, game assets, and language models to see how the same organizing habit fits different materials. The guides help distinguish access, editing, sharing, redistribution, and deployment questions without treating every license as interchangeable. Use the original terms for the actual material and date you are considering. An unresolved condition should remain visible in your notes until you have a reliable answer.

A downloadable file is only one part of portability. Check permissions, supported features, and the destination before depending on an export.

A downloaded file is only the beginning. Build a game asset register that connects permissions, source files, dependencies, and tested reuse.
