Models that answer in prose across whatever subject you put to them. This is the largest category and the least differentiated: most of them are competent at most things, so the choice usually comes down to price, context length and how the maker behaves about availability. Look at what a model costs per million tokens in and out — the output rate is often four or five times the input rate, and it is the one that decides your bill.

Weights you can download, under a licence that asks for something in return: an acceptable-use policy, a naming requirement, a revenue ceiling above which you must ask, a restriction on training other models. The Llama and Gemma families are the familiar cases. Read the actual licence before you build on one of these — the condition is usually easy to meet and occasionally fatal, and which it is depends on your product rather than on the model.
