## 1. Definition of Work
### Model Name
**SafeQwen2.5-VL**
### Reference Publication
This model (SafeQwen2.5-VL) is the official model presented in the academic paper:
> **"HoliSafe: Holistic Safety Benchmarking and Modeling for Vision-Language Model"**
> [https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.04704](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.04704)
### Base Models & License Provenance
This model is a **Derivative Work** based on the following Qwen2.5-VL models (developed by the Qwen Team, Alibaba Cloud):
- [Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct)
- [Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct)
As of November 17, 2025, these base models were provided under the `apache-2.0` license, as specified in their Hugging Face repository metadata (note: a formal LICENSE file was not present in the repositories at this time). This SafeQwen2.5-VL license is predicated on the apache-2.0 license grant of the base models.
### Modifications by ETRI
This work integrates an independently developed **Visual Guard Module (VGM)** to classify harmful image inputs and generate safe text responses. All modifications and additions are the work of ETRI.
