Labs with no open models under 100B

Tracked so you know they were checked, not forgotten.

AnthropicNo open-weight models. Claude Haiku is the small tier, but its parameter count is undisclosed.
MiniMaxOpen-weight releases (M2, M2.5, ...) are ~200B+ total parameters (MoE, ~10B active).
Reflection AIFirst open-weight model Beam (Oct 2026) is 501B total / 23B active.
Thinking Machines LabInkling (Jul 2026) is 975B total / 41B active; a smaller variant is still well above 100B.
SpaceXAI (formerly xAI)Grok 4.x models are proprietary; earlier open checkpoints (Grok-1, Grok-2) are 270B+.
TypeSafe AIJev models are proprietary; parameter counts are unpublished.
Atomic ChatAn app for running other labs' open models locally (GGUF, MLX, ONNX). It publishes quantized copies of others' models, not models of its own.
OctenBuilds search infrastructure and embedding models (Octen-Embedding 0.6B-8B), not chat or reasoning language models.
Fastino LabsBuilds small task-specific models (GLiNER2.5 extraction, GLiDE decision model), not general-purpose language models.
