Open-weight reasoning models

89 in the catalogue today. Every one with what it costs, who sells it and where it stands.

Models that plan before they answer, spending extra tokens on working the problem through. They win on mathematics, hard code and anything with several steps, and they are measured on boards like GPQA, AIME and ARC-AGI. The catch is what the thinking costs: reasoning is billed as output tokens, so the same model can cost several times more per answer at a high effort than a low one, and for a question that needed one turn you have paid for a monologue.

Weights published under a licence that lets you run them where you like and sell what you build — Apache 2.0, MIT and their kin impose little beyond keeping the notice. This is the list to start from if you need the model on your own hardware, in your own region, or simply want no third party between you and it. The trade is that hosting is now your problem, and the prices shown beside each one are what somebody else charges to do it for you.
