Security researchers and developers that need efficient open-weight AI models to locate known software vulnerabilities within codebases
About Antares
Antares is a family of open-weight security small language models purpose-built to localize known vulnerabilities inside large codebases. Antares-350M and Antares-1B are compact enough to run locally or on premises, helping teams keep proprietary source code inside their environment while reducing inference cost and runtime. Starting from a vulnerability description, advisory, or CWE category, the model follows an iterative investigation process similar to a human analyst, it searches for relevant code patterns, reads candidate files, incorporates new evidence, changes direction when a path is unproductive, and narrows the search to the files most likely to contain the weakness. Antares returns a ranked list of potentially vulnerable source files together with the terminal exploration trace that produced the result, making findings easier to review and prioritize.

Muse Spark Open
Muse Spark Open is an open-weight, natively multimodal language model for developers and organizations building AI applications, coding systems, and agentic workflows. The released model has 816 billion total parameters, 42 billion active parameters, and a 1-million-token context window. Teams can download the model weights, run inference through supported engines such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Hugging Face Transformers, Apple MLX, llama.cpp, or Unsloth, and customize the model using PyTorch. It supports long-context reasoning, software engineering, coding, tool use, and multimodal inputs. Deployment options include cloud inference through listed API providers or self-hosting on compatible GPU systems; Meta documents a desktop setup using two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studio computers. The model is released under the Muse Model License with limited commercial terms.

Laguna S 2.1
Laguna S 2.1 is an open weight agentic coding model designed to pursue longer-horizon work and make effective use of reasoning. It uses a 118-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 8 billion active parameters per token and supports a context window of up to one million tokens in both thinking and no-thinking modes. Its compact active size makes it suitable for complex work on local machines while remaining competitive with models many times larger on terminal, software-engineering, codebase-question-answering, and tool-use benchmarks. Laguna S 2.1 is built to keep working through difficult tasks with greater persistence, verification, and willingness to backtrack instead of declaring success too early. In demonstrated runs, it built and validated a browser rendering engine from an empty folder, optimized an agent harness for faster execution and substantially lower memory allocation, and completed extended mathematical research using the tools in its environment.

GLM-5.3
GLM-5.3 is Z.ai’s frontier coding model designed for complex software engineering, long-horizon agent tasks, and advanced post-training research. The model uses the same base model as GLM-5.2, with improvements coming from scaled post-training across more environments, more diverse tasks, and larger compute investment. GLM-5.3 delivers stronger coding performance, better task ownership, improved benchmark results, and greater efficiency across realistic development workflows. It is built to handle complex coding tasks, production-style engineering work, research environments, automation tasks, and agentic workflows that require multi-step execution. The model also shows emergent cyber capabilities in vulnerability discovery and exploitation-chain reasoning, with safety evaluation and hardening planned before open-weight release.

Inkling
Inkling is an open-weights multimodal AI model from Thinking Machines designed as a customizable foundation model for developers, researchers, and enterprises. The model is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975 billion total parameters, 41 billion active parameters, and support for context windows up to 1 million tokens. Inkling was trained from scratch on text, images, audio, and video, giving it native capabilities across reasoning, coding, agentic tool use, vision, audio, factuality, and instruction following. It is built with controllable thinking effort so users can balance performance, latency, and token efficiency for different workloads. The model is available for fine-tuning on Tinker, with playground access, API availability through ecosystem partners, and full weights published on Hugging Face. Built for customization, Inkling gives teams an open-weights base model for building domain-specific AI systems, multimodal agents, coding workflows, research tools, and more.
