How the open-weight list works
The page groups active text-generation offers whose source metadata sets open_weights to true.
Inclusion criteria
- The offer passes the active text-generation rules used by the LLM models directory.
- The model extra metadata contains open_weights set to true.
Exclusions
- The list excludes records where open_weights is false, missing, or not confirmed.
- The list excludes catalog-only, deprecated, retired, and disallowed offers.
Data rules
- Term: Open weights describes weight availability. It does not assert an open-source software license.
- Grouping: Eligible provider offers are grouped into conservative model identities.
Limits of the data
- Users must check the model license, use restrictions, hosting needs, and download source separately.
- Open weights do not guarantee free commercial use or complete training-data disclosure.
Check the license
Use this page to find catalog candidates. Then check the publisher license and weight distribution source. “Open weight” is narrower than “open source.”
