  https://github.com/Lightelligence (org homepage field resolves to https://www.lightelligence.ai/,
  confirming first-party), plus live registry probes of PyPI, npm and readthedocs.org on 2026-08-25.
note: >-
  Lightelligence publishes no client library for a web API, because it publishes no web API. What it
  DID ship was a device-side Python SDK ("lt_sdk", distributed on PyPI as lightelligence-sdk) that
  compiled and ran models on the company's optical processing unit, documented on Read the Docs. That
  entire distribution has been withdrawn: the PyPI project, the Read the Docs project and the
  Lightelligence/SDKDocs GitHub repository all now return 404 while the public SDKExamples repository
  that depends on them is still online and still instructs users to install them. This is a decayed
  developer program, not an absent one.
packages:
- language: python
  registry: pypi
  name: lightelligence-sdk
  url: https://pypi.org/project/lightelligence-sdk/
  install: pip install lightelligence-sdk
  official: true
  status: withdrawn
  version: null
  published: null
  last_referenced_version: 0.1.15
  note: >-
    version/published are null because the package no longer exists on PyPI —
    https://pypi.org/simple/lightelligence-sdk/ returned 404 on 2026-08-25 against a control probe of
    https://pypi.org/simple/requests/ that returned 200, so the 404 is authoritative and not a bot
    challenge. last_referenced_version 0.1.15 is the pin still recorded in
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lightelligence/SDKExamples/master/requirements.txt, the
    company's own public example repository; it is the last version the provider is known to have
    published, NOT a version currently installable.
  docs: https://lightelligence-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
  docs_status: 404
  docs_note: >-
    Read the Docs answers "Project not found"; readthedocs.org/api/v3/projects/lightelligence-sdk/
    returns {"detail":"No Project matches the given query."}. The source repository the SDK docs
    pointed at, https://github.com/Lightelligence/SDKDocs, returns 404 via the GitHub API.
- language: python
  registry: pypi
  name: model-vis
  url: https://pypi.org/project/model-vis/
  install: pip install model-vis
  official: true
  status: published

  published: '2020-08-17'
  source_code: https://github.com/Lightelligence/model_vis
  kind: tool
  note: >-
    Interactive graph visualization for ML models, not an API client. Attribution rests on an exact
    match: the PyPI latest version (0.0.22, uploaded 2020-08-17, read from
    https://pypi.org/simple/model-vis/) equals the version declared in setup.py in the
    Lightelligence GitHub organization's own model_vis repository, whose README instructs
    "pip install model-vis". The PyPI upload carries a personal author_email rather than a company
    address, so the publisher is an individual at the company rather than a company account.
    Abandoned since 2020.

    OWNERSHIP — these belong to the LEDVANCE "Lightelligence" IoT cloud platform at
    lightelligence.io, a different company that happens to share the name. They are not published by
    Shanghai Xizhi Technology Co., Ltd. / Lightelligence the photonic computing company profiled
    here, and were deliberately not recorded as this provider's packages.
