Silhouette models

Background-removal models converted for Silhouette, a Mac app that cuts subjects out of product photos and portraits. Each folder holds one model with its own README (what it is, where the weights come from, what the conversion changed) and the upstream licence, which travels with the files.

Folder	Model	Format	Licence	Size
isnet-dis	IS-Net DIS (general use), Qin et al. 2022	Core ML .mlpackage, FP16	Apache 2.0	84 MB
modnet	MODNet (photographic portrait matting), Ke et al. 2022	MLX safetensors, FP32	Apache 2.0	25 MB
birefnet	BiRefNet (general), Zheng et al. 2024	MLX safetensors, FP16	MIT	420 MB

The app downloads these files pinned to a commit and checks each one's size and SHA-256 before using it, so a file here is never changed in place: a new conversion is a new commit. The MLX files hold weights only; the network itself is Swift code in the app.
