Snapshot facts · download the public dataset · methodology
OpenRouter endpoint status could not be refreshed. This model is not treated as currently served until a successful observation arrives.
Current provider status is unavailable.
BES normalizes admitted public benchmark evidence for measured Index rows. Its legacy score and observables prior do not define the public language rank.
These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
Experimental estimate. This layer predicts from admitted evidence and safe metadata only. It never enters ModelCap Score or rank.

A metadata completeness and deployability index—not a safety certification, quality grade, or production-readiness claim.
Market Gravity uses OpenRouter’s full-catalogue popularity order. Sparse Vercel top-ten observations appear only when published and do not affect the score.
This model is visible because it is available in the live catalogue, but it has no trustworthy community result yet. ModelCap does not infer a quality score from price, features, or market activity.
OpenRouter weekly popularity across the full model catalogue.
Independent providers versus the model's open or closed cohort, weighted by uptime.
Hugging Face 30-day downloads for open models; neutral for closed models.

Kimi Linear 48B A3B Instruct has no public ModelCap Index position as of 12 September 2026: the snapshot lacks enough matched benchmark evidence, or the identity match is unresolved. Its catalogue facts (price, context, providers) are shown without a rank.
No live API price is listed for Kimi Linear 48B A3B Instruct in the current snapshot as of 12 September 2026 because the latest endpoint refresh was unavailable. ModelCap shows a price only when a provider currently lists one.
Open weights (mit). Downloadable weights are published under an OSI or free-culture license in the current repository metadata. This describes weight availability, not whether the full training stack qualifies as Open Source AI. The repository is moonshotai/Kimi-Linear-48B-A3B-Instruct on Hugging Face.
