Anomaly inflow on Sugimoto model branes supports the conclusion that the 10d gauge group is Sp(16)/Z2, and the same inflow matching rules out most alternative chiral spectra.

abstract
We discuss consistency conditions for branes at orbifold singularities. The conditions have a world-sheet interpretation in terms of tadpole cancellation and a space-time interpretation in terms of anomalies. As examples, we consider type II and type I branes on $C^2/Z_M$ orbifolds. We give orientifold constructions of phases of type I or heterotic string theory, involving branches with extra tensor multiplets, which arise when small SO(32) instantons sit on orbifold singularities.

Anomaly Inflow and Gauge Group Topology in the 10d Sugimoto String Theory
Anomaly inflow on Sugimoto model branes supports the conclusion that the 10d gauge group is Sp(16)/Z2, and the same inflow matching rules out most alternative chiral spectra.
