Open LLMs

Open LLMs, by the same author behind applied-ml — serves as a curated directory of open large language models (LLMs) that are available for commercial or open-source use. Rather than proprietary or closed-source LLMs, this repo focuses on freely available or permissively licensed models that practitioners can download, run, fine-tune or integrate without restrictive licensing. For teams or developers interested in experimenting with LLMs but wanting to avoid vendor lock-in or licensing constraints, open-llms offers a practical starting point. It aggregates metadata, licensing info, and often pointers to the model weights or model cards — helping users quickly compare models by size, license, domain, and capabilities. By compiling this in one place, open-llms reduces friction in exploring the LLM space, making it easier to try different models, benchmark them, or build custom applications.
