Best open-weight LLMs: common questions

Which model tops the open-weight LLM list right now?

Muse Spark Open (Meta), as of 6 November 2026, with an Index score of 80.1 and ModelCap Index position #17.

How is the open-weight LLM list built?

It contains current, canonical language models with a public ModelCap Index position whose Hugging Face weight access is open (an OSI or free-culture licence with no access gate) or gated (downloadable after accepting the publisher's terms, under any licence), ordered by ModelCap Index rank; ungated weights under a custom or use-restricted licence (Restricted license), unverified licences and models with no linked weights are left out. Nothing is estimated for the list itself: the filter is a published fact and the order is a published figure, and every row links to the model page that shows its evidence.

How many models qualify for the open-weight LLM list?

210 models qualify; the page shows the first 100. The population is the live ModelCap Index, so a model appears here the moment it holds a public position and meets the filter.

What is the cheapest model on the open-weight LLM list?

Ling 3.0 Tiny lists the lowest blended API price at $0.022 per 1M tokens ($0.015 input / $0.045 output).

How current is the open-weight LLM list?

Positions, prices and context figures come from the same published snapshot dated 6 November 2026. Publication and page updates happen separately; use the snapshot date shown on the page.
