{"slug":"open-weight-releases-wfkdg2","name":"Open weight releases","task":"Find releases of OPEN-WEIGHT language, vision-language, audio or embedding models published in the LAST 21 DAYS. Each finding must be ONE model repository or release page on huggingface.co, modelscope.cn, GitHub, or the lab's own site, for ONE model family. MUST-HAVES: the weights are actually downloadable, not merely announced or waitlisted; the LICENCE is stated (Apache 2.0, MIT, Llama Community, Gemma, Qwen, a custom research-only licence, or non-commercial); the parameter count or the family's sizes are stated; and the page carries a date inside the 21-day window. LEAD WITH THE LICENCE, because that is what decides whether the model is usable at all: a research-only or non-commercial licence is a different product from Apache 2.0 however good the benchmarks are. Then the parameter count, the context window, and the modality. Skip re-uploads, GGUF and AWQ quantisations, LoRA adapters and fine-tunes of an existing release, merges, 'best open models' listicles, leaderboard pages, and anything outside the window. A quantised copy of a model already sent is not a new release. Lead with the licence, the model, the sizes, and the lab.","interval_minutes":360,"digest_mode":"6hourly","clone_count":0,"view_count":10,"follower_count":0,"following":false,"owned":false,"published_at":"2026-07-28T19:05:35.065161Z","running":false,"clone_recommended":true,"findings_total":603,"findings":[{"id":"fnd_e16b1a8a8ada","title":"CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-arabic-07-2026 · Hugging Face","url":"https://huggingface.co/CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-arabic-07-2026","source":"huggingface.co","summary":"Right type: model card with Apache 2.0 licence, 2B parameters, ASR weights available, but dated 7 July 2026 which is outside the 21 day window and it derives from an earlier 2B model.","relevance":45,"published_at":"2026-07-07T00:00:00Z","created_at":"2026-08-08T19:56:19.047471Z"},{"id":"fnd_7e3716ea2894","title":"Meet Cohere Transcribe Arabic","url":"https://huggingface.co/blog/CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-arabic-07-2026-release","source":"huggingface.co","summary":"Blog announcement rather than a model card or repository page, and dated 7 July 2026, outside the 21 day window.","relevance":20,"published_at":"2026-07-07T00:00:00Z","created_at":"2026-08-08T19:56:18.555950Z"},{"id":"fnd_39fdc154b292","title":"Introducing Cohere-transcribe: state-of-the-art speech recognition","url":"https://huggingface.co/blog/CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026-release","source":"huggingface.co","summary":"Announcement blog post about the March 2026 Cohere Transcribe model rather than the model repository itself, and dated well outside the 21 day window.","relevance":20,"published_at":"2026-03-31T00:00:00Z","created_at":"2026-08-08T19:56:18.064191Z"},{"id":"fnd_ac141e62b3b3","title":"CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026 · Hugging Face","url":"https://huggingface.co/CohereLabs/cohere-transcribe-03-2026","source":"huggingface.co","summary":"Correct type (model card, Apache 2.0, 2B ASR, weights downloadable) but dated 26 March 2026, roughly four months outside the 21 day window.","relevance":35,"published_at":"2026-03-26T00:00:00Z","created_at":"2026-08-08T19:56:17.572105Z"},{"id":"fnd_7fd96052398a","title":"[AINews] Much ado about Open Weights - Latent.Space","url":"https://www.latent.space/p/ainews-much-ado-about-open-weights","source":"latent.space","summary":"Newsletter roundup discussing Kimi K3 licensing, not a single model card or release page with downloadable weights; publication date unverifiable.","relevance":15,"published_at":null,"created_at":"2026-08-08T19:56:17.079789Z"},{"id":"fnd_bc0a4b777383","title":"Gemma 4 Released: Why the Apache 2.0 License Matters - SolidAITech","url":"https://www.solidaitech.com/2026/07/gemma-4-apache-license-change.html","source":"solidaitech.com","summary":"Blog article commenting on a model release, not a model repository or official release page; the Gemma 4 release (April 2026) also falls far outside the 21 day window.","relevance":20,"published_at":null,"created_at":"2026-08-08T19:56:16.586804Z"},{"id":"fnd_aca65ea99e50","title":"Ai2 Newsletter | August 2026","url":"https://allenai.org/newsletters/2026-08-newsletter","source":"allenai.org","summary":"Organisation newsletter in date range but off-type: discusses open science and Hub storage, not one model release with weights, licence and parameter count.","relevance":10,"published_at":"2026-08-06T00:00:00Z","created_at":"2026-08-08T13:58:34.685972Z"},{"id":"fnd_76fc00cd81d7","title":"huggingface.co","url":"https://huggingface.co/torchgeo/ftw","source":"huggingface.co","summary":"Redistribution of existing baseline checkpoints for a geospatial model: a re-upload, wrong modality, and no verifiable date.","relevance":5,"published_at":null,"created_at":"2026-08-08T13:58:34.211500Z"},{"id":"fnd_12443551b592","title":"TeleChat3-Coder-36B-Thinking","url":"https://modelscope.cn/models/TeleAI/TeleCoder3-36B-Thinking","source":"modelscope.cn","summary":"ModelScope page for a coder variant of an existing family, dated 2026-01-31 (outside the window), with no licence or parameter detail beyond the name.","relevance":20,"published_at":"2026-01-31T00:00:00Z","created_at":"2026-08-08T13:58:33.737060Z"},{"id":"fnd_3b992c2ec562","title":"TeleChat3 36B Thinking","url":"https://huggingface.co/Tele-AI/TeleChat3-36B-Thinking","source":"huggingface.co","summary":"Hugging Face model card for one family with sizes stated, but the release is from 2025-12-23, far outside the 21-day window, and no licence is given.","relevance":25,"published_at":null,"created_at":"2026-08-08T13:58:33.262263Z"}]}
