apache 2.0 confirmed in the licence text, a million tokens of context, and now a version small enough to actually run.

free (apache 2.0)#repository-scale-agentic#the-licence-both-need-to

the cleanest licence and the longest context in the category, with a february variant that finally makes it deployable outside a datacentre.

apache 2.0, and we read the licence file rather than trusting the model-card badge — no revenue cap, no use restrictions, no naming mandate. after codestral's non-production bar and devstral's revenue cliff, that plainness is the argument.

262,144 tokens natively, extendable to a million through yarn, which is what makes repository-scale agentic coding practical rather than aspirational. the flagship is 480b total with 35b active.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

the cleanest licence and the longest context in the category, with a february variant that finally makes it deployable outside a datacentre.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
