Every open LLM under 4 billion parameters in our catalog — the tiny, fast, edge-friendly tier that runs almost anywhere, including CPUs and phones. Ranked by popularity/recognition with the honest $0 cost to run each locally. You judge which small model is sharpest for your task.
How this is ranked: Objective size cut (under 4B is a catalog fact). Within the tier we sort by popularity (a real signal: HF downloads/recognition), explicitly framed as 'most-recognized small models — judge quality yourself,' not 'this tiny model is best.'
