Open-source database of AI models, prices and capabilities
Every model uses a consistent provider/model format so the same model across providers can be compared directly.
Side-by-side context window, output limit, reasoning, tool calling, structured output, and temperature support.
Input and output prices per million tokens listed alongside release and update dates.
Covers closed flagship APIs and open-weight models from many labs in one sortable catalogue.
One OpenAI-compatible gateway for adaptive LLM routing, guardrails, and spend control
Each prompt is graded and routed to the model that clears your quality bar, with configurable fallback chains that retry before a response starts.
Pay provider prices with $0 per-token added on pay-as-you-go and subscriptions, or bring your own provider keys and credits.
PII shielding, jailbreak and injection blocking, and per-call approval for tool and MCP actions run before you are billed.
Request logs, per-prompt receipts, routing and spend dashboards, and copy-as-cURL make every call auditable and attributable.
