It would be cool to have a badge in the model list for open-source / open-weight models, similar to the (old?) badges for vision-enabled models, or maybe another way to highlight them (colored model names perhaps), as the description for models can’t really be seen on a mobile device. Why? Because I like to run open models most of the time and consider them as having better privacy, but still want to be able to use proprietary models should I want to. It’s a bit of a pain to know whether they are open source or not. This might clutter the UI, so I guess it can also be an opt-in/opt-out setting?

We’ve added an “Open source” badge and an “Open source only” filter in the text-model visibility settings. This makes it easier to identify those models without relying on hover descriptions. Open weights don’t by themselves guarantee provider privacy; the provider privacy labels give separate information about retention and training.
