Free AI models, by workload
Pick the job you're building. Each list is the free-listed catalog filtered and ordered for that job using what providers declare — context window, tool support, listed price — with the ordering rule stated on the page. No measured score, fit or rank appears anywhere: no FreeBench run has qualified for publication yet.
Ranked from declared catalog facts — not from measured benchmark runs.
