Muse Glimmer 30B meta/muse-glimmer-30b | Meta Superintelligence Labs | chat | 131k | free | free | 85 | The open, Apache-2.0 half of Meta's post-Llama Muse line: a 29.8B dense multimodal reasoner distilled from Muse Spark, with native tool calling and a separate reasoning output. Deliberately dense at a moment when its peers are all sparse. | |
Mistral Medium 3.5 128B mistralai/mistral-medium-3.5-128b | Mistral AI | chat | 262k | free | free | 62 | Dense 128B — no MoE routing, so latency is more predictable under load than a sparse model of similar quality. | |
Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B-A3B preview nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b | NVIDIA | chat | 1M | free | free | 200 | NVIDIA's new 3.5 generation: 30B total / 3B active interleaving Mamba-2, attention and MoE blocks across 52 layers, with speculative decoding, built for long-running sub-agent roles. Preview on NIM — gate it accordingly. | |
Laguna XS 2.1 poolside/laguna-xs-2.1 | Poolside | chat | 262k | free | free | 120 | 33B MoE / 3B active aimed squarely at agentic coding and terminal work — a specialist rather than a general model. | |
GLM-4.7 z-ai/glm-4.7 | Z.ai (Zhipu) | chat | 131k | free | free | 64 | The previous GLM generation, still hosted — a cheaper fallback when GLM-5.2's context is not needed. | |

Llama Nemotron Rerank VL 1B v2 nvidia/llama-nemotron-rerank-vl-1b-v2 | NVIDIA | rerank | 8k | — | — | — | Vision-language reranker for multimodal/document RAG; reorders text-and-image candidates by relevance for document-extraction and visual retrieval pipelines. Retained deliberately: /v1/models does not enumerate rerank endpoints, so its absence there is not evidence of removal — its catalog page is live with no deprecation notice (checked 2026-09-05). |
