Models.dev: open-source database of AI model specs, pricing, and capabilities

Its interesting and pretty useful if it can be kept updated in long run. Also some way to capturing the changes in pricing if any given that one of the arguments is that over the time the prices should come down.

nit suggestion: It took a while to realize that I have to scroll to right to see more details. Most users are in habit of scrolling down or click on some button to see more details.

The future of sites like this (and by future I mean the present) is automated actions that infer what to do to keep the site up to date. Imagine a CI job with a single generic task of “keep things fresh”. Combined with some guard rails for deploying and validating, and you get a living site. It’ll figure out on its own to scrape HN for new sites that list models. Figure out their pricing pages.

Really useful database, though the website could really use a filtering feature rather than just sorting.

Interesting approach. The unified pricing table is helpful, but I'd love to see latency benchmarks across providers – that's often the hidden cost beyond price/token.

> There's no single database with information about all the available AI models. We started Models.dev as a community-contributed project to address this.

There are literally dozens of existing projects that are doing what you are trying to do.

Good point. There isn't really a single database with information about all the availablle AI model databases. Someone should start a community-contributed project to address this!

Why put everything into a database schema when you can just ask a random AI to collect the information for you in whatever format you want?

Absolute gem. And after recent tweak this table is fast af even it is huge with a lot of rows.

Definitely needs filtering for all the data, so you can block out "closed" models, and even models that are not LLMs.

This seems really interesting, thanks maxloh for sharing.

I have a quick question but https://aihubmix.com/model/coding-glm-5.1-free seems to be free in the chances of "coding-glm-5.1-free is the open and free version of coding-glm-5.1. To ensure stable service performance, usage limits are in place: up to 5 requests per minute, 500 requests per day, and a daily token allowance of 1 million."

Is there any catch aside from that for this aihubmix? I use opencode-zen from free version mostly if I want agents but this seems interesting to me as well and I think that it mught be able to get integrated into opencode itself as well given this repo is from opencode (well anomalyco)

A quick question but is there any tangible benefit of using these AIhubmix or others over something like opencode-zen itself that I may be missing?
