Model Card Lint - EU GPAI (AI Act Art. 53)

Runs the same checker as the npm package @readystack/model-card-lint-gpai on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Lints a Hugging Face model card against the Hub metadata spec and the EU AI Act general-purpose AI documentation duties, line by line.

Install

model-card-lint-gpai file

Node 18+. The same 28 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Lint the model card you have open against all 28 rules, as often as you like - line number, rule id, the article it comes from, and the line to write instead. Runs locally, no key, no upload.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Lint every model card in the repository in one pass and export the dated audit as a file you keep: Markdown for the reviewer, JSON a CI step can fail on.

@readystack/model-card-lint-gpai --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html

An hour of an EU AI Act compliance consultant starts near $200; the Act's own ceiling for a GPAI provider is EUR 15,000,000 or 3% of worldwide annual turnover (Art. 101).
