Adoption tracker

Who runs which AI model

A curated, source-cited tracker of companies running AI workloads on open-weight models - Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and GLM - as frontier-model prices climb. Every row cites a real source and carries an honest status so a rumor is never shown as a confirmed move.

Statuses: confirmed official source (company blog or CEO statement) reported credible third-party, not officially confirmed testing evaluating, not deployed. Last updated 2026-09-18.
