Best Open Source LLM in 2026

Models with open weights or open licensing — self-host, fine-tune, or run via low-cost APIs. Ranked by benchmark scores where available.

Llama 4 Maverick and Qwen 3.5 397B lead open-weights models on reasoning benchmarks. Llama 4 Scout adds a 10M context window and very high inference speed when hosted on supported hardware.
