Automated file-pattern scans flagged nothing; not a safety guarantee. 22 hosted files carry a published SHA-256 you can re-hash. The machine-readable verdict is at /api/artifacts/hf-model-cross-encoder-stsb-distilroberta-base/safety on Hugging Bay.

Q: Will cross-encoder/stsb-distilroberta-base run on my computer?

We can’t check the fit; we don’t know your machine. We don’t have your machine’s specs, so no check ran and no verdict is shown. Answer two quick questions and we’ll estimate, from the memory you tell us, whether it fits your machine. Or skip it; you can still download; fit isn’t checked.
