Published discounts: a prompt-cache read rate for all 3 and a batch rate for none. The most recent by release date is LFM3-1.7B (2026-11). No Arena ELO score is published for any of them.

Licences

Of the 3, 1 is open weights, which is not the same as open source: the weights are published, but under the LFM Open License licence, which restricts some uses. Read it before self-hosting commercially. No licence is recorded for the other 2, so this page does not say whether they can be self-hosted. Licences are as recorded in this catalogue: check the maker's own terms before relying on one.

Your real cost also depends on caching and batching, negotiated discounts, marketplace agreements, and the contracts you already have. OptimNow audits exactly that.
