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.
High-quality human data for AI training, evaluation, and research
Filter participants by detailed demographic, professional, and behavioural criteria and reach narrow or representative samples rather than a generic crowd.
Collect human preference data for model fine-tuning, run safety evaluations and red-teaming, and use a feedback API to plug humans into automated pipelines.
Attention checks, honesty screening, and approval workflows help filter out careless or fraudulent responses before you analyse results.
Publish a study and begin collecting responses quickly, with tooling that supports screening, quotas, and longitudinal designs.
