It exists as a dependency for the face_recognition library and is not meant to be used standalone; you install it to get the trained models that face_recognition needs to operate. The models were created by Davis King and are distributed in the public domain or under CC0 1.0 Universal.\n\nThe package itself contains no code logic, only data files. Installation requires downloading large model artifacts, which creates significant friction. The project is abandoned and has not been updated since 2017, with the last commit in late 2022 likely being a minor maintenance action. The declared Python support (2.6 through 3.6) is obsolete, and whether it works with modern Python versions is unclear.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are explicitly required by face_recognition as a dependency. The package is abandoned, its Python version claims are obsolete, and installation is friction-heavy due to large model files. If you need facial recognition, evaluate whether face_recognition itself is still maintained and whether its current dependencies have been updated; this package will likely be pulled in automatically if needed, but do not install it directly."},"id":"face-recognition-models","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/face-recognition-models","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/face-recognition-models.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/face-recognition-models/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-09-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"face_recognition_models","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Models used by the face_recognition package."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":132298,"position":11557,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.0"}
