## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Chores**
  * Updated style vocabulary: standardized names/capitalization (Anthropic, Brev, Zsh, Minimax).
  * Removed obsolete token ("kv") and tightened finetune variation handling.
  * Added explicit allowance for "AIQ" in one list and added an additional case-insensitive "AIQ" matching rule in the counterpart list to refine validation.
