Stav’s assessment

Editorial assessment, not legal advice. Stav's risk ratings, scores, and verdicts are our own analysis of publicly available information and may be incomplete or out of date. Verify independently before making compliance or procurement decisions.

• transparency

  Upstage publishes technical reports and open weights for several Solar models (10.7B, Open-100B, Open 2) on Hugging Face, including architecture and training-scale details.

• compliance

  Upstage's privacy policy has been repeatedly updated through 2026 to add explicit GDPR/UK GDPR sections, SCC references, and the EU-Korea adequacy decision, showing deliberate movement toward EU privacy alignment.

• community

  Solar 10.7B topped the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard in December 2023, and later Solar models (Pro 2, Open 2, Pro 3) have continued to be positioned as competitive against major international models.

• stability

  Upstage continues to ship new frontier models through 2026 (Solar Pro 3, Solar Open 2) and remains an active finalist in Korea's well-funded national sovereign-AI programme, indicating a growing, well-resourced organisation rather than one at risk of discontinuation.
