Frequently asked questions

How is the Inception leaderboard ranked?

By how many people actually open each profile page. The top five most viewed models in this section are shown, refreshed continuously from real traffic. No editorial overrides, no paid bumps.

Can I filter by pricing or compliance?

Yes. Use the sidebar to apply filters across pricing tier, architecture, runtime capability and compliance attestation. Selections are reflected in the URL so the filtered view can be shared.

Are open source options included?

Yes. Open weights and open source entries are listed alongside proprietary ones. Pick the Open Source value in the Architecture filter to restrict the view to open licence options.
