Our take

Written Aug 3, 2026

UnslopNemo is a 12.2-billion-parameter text model released in October 2024 by TheDrummer. Its weights are openly available, though the licence terms remain undisclosed, and every tracked host charges the same rate.

Who should pick it

Pick this for budget-conscious text-only inference where consistent pricing across providers matters more than speed. Use it if you want open weights for local deployment and do not need image, audio or video support. Skip it if you need verified quality scores, a clear licence for commercial use, or fast throughput on every host.

The case for it

  • Uniform pricing across all three tracked providers — no price arbitrage needed.
  • Open weights released by TheDrummer, enabling local deployment.

The case against it

  • No measured benchmark scores in our data, so quality claims are unverified.
  • Licence terms are undisclosed; commercial use, redistribution and fine-tuning rights are unclear.
  • Text-to-text only — no image, audio or video support, and throughput varies by provider.

All 3 sizes here are calculated, not measured. We hold no measured file for this model, so each size comes from the parameter count and every verdict above inherits that uncertainty.

What each host's API supports

From the parameter list each endpoint publishes. Streaming is omitted: nothing we hold reports it, for any model.

  • Nothing we hold says whether an endpoint streams, so we do not show it either way.
  • 1 of 3 listings do not say whether they train on prompts.
  • We hold no cached-input rate for any of its listings.
