Key Points

  • The post presents a chart of “recent” open-source LLM models released over the last six months from Nov 2025 to Apr 2026, with some entries possibly older than intended.
  • It includes only the latest versions of certain model families (e.g., only Kimi-K2.6 and GLM-5.1), explicitly excluding older minor releases.
  • The author notes omissions due to space and difficulty adding some models, such as certain listed variants and smaller models to avoid making the chart too crowded.
  • The post raises questions to the community about whether the period is the best six months for local LLMs and which models might be underrated or overlooked overall.
Recent Open models from last 6 Months - Nov 2025 - Apr 2026

I created this chart with recent open models from last 6 months. Few might be older than that possibly.

Included only latest versions(Ex: Only Kimi-K2.6, no Kimi-K2.5 & Kimi-K2. Also only GLM-5.1 & GLM-4.7, no GLM-4.6 & GLM-4.5). I couldn't add some models like Ling-2.5-1T, Ring-2.5-1T, Omnicoder. Also I didn't add small models(except Qwen3.5-9B/4B & Gemma-4-E4B) as the graph is too crowdy already. Sorry if I missed any recent models.

Possibly best 6 months for Local LLMs?!? Still this month has more than a week, so we could get few more models.

So what do you think about overall graph? Underrated & Overlooked models?
