Comparisons of Large Open Source AI Models (>150B)
Open source AI models with over 150 billion parameters. Models are considered Open Source (also commonly referred to as open weights) where their weights are accessible to download. This allows self-hosting on your own infrastructure and enables customizing the model such as through fine-tuning. Click on any model to see detailed metrics. For more details including relating to our methodology, see our FAQs.
DeepSeek R1 0528 (May '25) and 
MiniMax M1 80k are the highest intelligence Large open source models, defined as those with >150B parameters, followed by 
Qwen3 235B (Reasoning) & MiniMax M1 40k.
