Capabilities

What the badges mean

Badge	Meaning
Chat	General conversational / text generation.
Tools	Can participate in structured function/tool calling when model, template and runtime support it.
Vision	Can accept image input; local GGUF workflows may require a matching projector (mmproj) file.
Coding	Explicitly trained or tagged for software/code tasks.
Reasoning	Explicitly reasoning-oriented or supports a reasoning mode.
Embeddings	Produces numerical vector representations; not treated as a normal chat model.
Audio	Speech/audio capabilities where model and runtime support them.

Where the labels come from

Badges are inferred from Hugging Face metadata: the pipeline tag (text-generation, feature-extraction, …), repository tags, and the model name. On the catalog this is marked as inferred from Hub tags.

Three evidence levels exist in the product model:

Source-declared — the model card or tags declare the capability.
Inferred — BotConnector derived it from name/tags/metadata.
Runtime-verified — a load+probe confirmed the capability on your machine. (Not yet implemented; see status.)

How to verify a capability yourself

Vision: load the model with its mmproj projector and send an image — Vision.
Tools: send a tools array to the API and check for a tool call in the response — Tool use.
Embeddings: call POST /v1/embeddings and confirm a vector is returned — Embeddings.

Missing badges

Absence of a badge is not proof of absence — some repositories are tagged sparsely on the Hub. Check the model card on huggingface.co for the authoritative description.
