Conditionally licensed search models

3 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 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.
