About Open LLMs

Open LLMs is a GitHub repository containing a curated list of large language models that the README identifies as licensed for commercial use, citing licenses such as Apache 2.0, MIT and OpenRAIL-M. Each row in the table records the model name, release date, checkpoints, a paper or blog link, parameter counts, context length, license and a link for trying the model, covering releases from T5 in 2019 through 2023 entries such as Mistral 7B, LLaMA 2, Falcon and MPT. The repository holds a README and a license file rather than the models themselves, and it states that contributions are welcome. License terms are summarized by name in the table; where a custom license applies, entries note usage restrictions, and the terms linked from each model should be reviewed directly.
