Top picks
OLMo 2 32B
Earlier fully open model. Brilliant and honest, but forgets what you said a few pages back.
Olmo 3 7B
Fully open chat model. Data and code are public. Fits on the laptop you already own, if it has 8 GB.
SmolLM3 3B
Small, fully open, training data mix is public. Also has the cutest name on this list.
GPT-OSS 120B
Hard reasoning and agent tasks on a high-end workstation. Plan on a 128 GB machine. Your laptop just flinched.
GLM-4.5 Air
Strong agent and coding work. It is called Air and it wants a 128 GB machine. Someone in naming has jokes.
