Open-weight search models
6 in the catalogue today, and the list grows as the market does. Every one with what it costs, who sells it and where it stands.
Models, tools and agents that go and look something up — the open web, a set of documents, a grounded answer with citations. Pricing is usually per call or per result rather than per token, so the cost follows how often you ask. What differs is freshness, how much of each page you get back, and whether you are handed sources you can check or a summary you must trust.
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.
