## When to use which

* **Use Public** for research, model selection shortlist, citing reproducible evaluations.
* **Use Premium** for everything that involves your data — private evaluations, judges, traces, CI/CD gates.

## Switching between them

Logged-in Premium users see a **Switch toggle** in the top bar. It flips the catalog views between Public-only and Premium-augmented (where Premium adds your private items to the same browse experience).
