Open-Source Model Finder

Browse the live open-weight and Chinese LLM catalog by price, independent intelligence score, context window, license, and jurisdiction risk. Prices and scores update from the same source of truth as every aicost.ai calculator.

What this calculator does

Browses every open-weight model (GLM, Qwen, Kimi, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Llama, Mistral and more) by price, capability tier, license, and data jurisdiction, so you can find the cheapest open model that actually fits your governance and licensing constraints.

Why use it
  • The cheapest open-weight model is useless if its license blocks commercial use or its only endpoint sits in the wrong jurisdiction - this puts price, license, and jurisdiction on one screen.
  • Sort by price for the shortlist, filter by license to keep what you can ship, and read the jurisdiction note to flag anything that needs self-hosting.

* License, jurisdiction, and compliance fields are curated by aicost.ai (not vendor-official guarantees) and carry an asterisk throughout. Blended $/1M assumes a 3:1 input:output token mix for quick comparison; raw input/output rates are shown alongside. AAI = Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (independent); blank where not yet scored. Jurisdiction risk reflects the default provider endpoint — self-hosting the open weights or routing via a non-China gateway lowers it.
