AI Ownership Index

The library

Every open model and inference provider we grade, ranked by the AI Ownership Index. The letter and score are the analytical input; the ownership verdict, green through red, is the thing to read.

B80.8Ai2 OLMoOLMo is the Allen Institute for AI's "fully open / open science" language-model family (OLMo 2 and OLMo 3, the latter including a 32B).fully_open · Apache License 2.0substantial75%B78.8OpenAI gpt-ossgpt-oss is OpenAI's first open-weight release since GPT-2 (August 2025): two mixture-of-experts reasoning models - gpt-oss-120b (~117B total / 5.1B active, 128 experts) and gpt-oss-20b (~21B total / 3.6B active, 32 experts) - both with a 128K context window, configurable low/medium/high reasoning effort, native agentic tool use (function calling, browsing, Python) and structured outputs, shipped under a clean OSI-approved Apache-2.0 license with no click-through gate.open_weights · Apache License 2.0substantial85%B73.2Mistral AIMistral AI is the Paris-based EU lab whose open-weight releases are the leading European alternative to the US open-model families.open_weights · Apache 2.0 (flagship open-weight models); Mistral Research License / MNPL for some modelspartial85%B73.2SoofiSoofi-S is an open-science project in the OLMo mould whose pretraining report commits it to the Open Source AI Definition (OSAID 1.0) - a pledge to release weights, intermediate checkpoints, full per-source data accounting, hyperparameters and training+eval code - but as of this grounding that release has not landed: the base weights are in a closed-beta phase ("open model weights coming soon"), the open licence is not yet finalised (the LICENSE file is access-restricted and carries no SPDX), and it remains an early preview/beta with a custom architecture and incomplete safety hardening.open_weights · Permissive open-source committed (OSAID 1.0) but not yet finalised - SPDX pending, LICENSE access-restrictedpartial75%B72.4Meta LlamaMeta's Llama family is the most widely adopted open-weight LLM lineage, spanning dense Llama 3.1 (8B/70B/405B, 128K context) and Llama 3.3 70B through the Llama 4 mixture-of-experts models (Scout, Maverick, Behemoth), shipped alongside the companion Llama Guard and Prompt Guard safety classifiers.gated_open · Llama Community Licensepartial91%C69.2EuroLLMEuroLLM trades frontier scale for a genuinely European, Apache-2.0, all-EU-language model with the cleanest possible EU AI Act posture - an open-weight model designed in and for the EU, well under any systemic-risk threshold, whose natural home is multilingual EU-facing workloads rather than beating the largest labs on English reasoning.open_weights_recipe · Apache License 2.0substantial79%C67.6QwenQwen is Alibaba's large, fast-moving open-weight family.open_weights · Apache License 2.0 (mainstream Qwen3 sizes; verify per checkpoint)partial74%C65.2GLMGLM is Zhipu AI's open-weight family - Zhipu AI is the Beijing company (spun out of Tsinghua's THUDM lab) that ships internationally under the "Z.ai" brand.open_weights · MIT License (GLM-4.5 / GLM-4.6 / GLM-4-0414 series; verify per checkpoint)partial74%C64.4DeepSeekDeepSeek's V3 and R1 are large mixture-of-experts models (V3 is ~671B total / ~37B active) whose open weights are released under the OSI-approved MIT license - an unusually permissive posture that allows commercial use and even distillation, and which has produced a large family of R1 distills into Llama and Qwen bases.open_weights · MIT Licensepartial80%C62.8KimiKimi is Moonshot AI's (Beijing) model/product line; its confirmed open release is Kimi K2 - a very large Mixture-of-Experts model with 1T total / 32B active parameters (384 experts, 8+1 selected), a 128K context window, and an explicit agentic/coding focus (trained with the MuonClip optimiser).open_weights · Modified MIT License (MIT plus a large-scale attribution clause)partial75%
