2017 was another fast-moving year for generative AI. The models listed above span large language models (LLMs), image and video generators, code models and more, each with its own parameter count, context window, licensing and availability. To understand how the models of 2017 actually perform, compare their scores on our benchmarks page, and use compare to evaluate any two releases side by side.

Tracking AI by release year makes it easy to see how the frontier moves. Browse AI models from 2016 or AI models from 2018 to compare how capabilities, context windows and open-weights availability evolved year over year.
