Overview
OpenAI's open-weight 21B Mixture-of-Experts model (3.6B active parameters), released under Apache 2.0. Built for low-latency, high-throughput inference, it runs comfortably on a single GPU and handles classification, extraction, routing and short-form summarization well above its size class. That combination has made it one of the most-used budget models on the platform. LLMRouteHub spreads traffic across 14 providers for the lowest live price and automatic failover, so it's a sensible default whenever you need 'good enough' quality at the lowest cost per token.
