models

Models is a terminal application that centralizes information about AI models, benchmarks, coding agents, and provider status pages. It aggregates ~4,000 models across 85+ providers from models.dev with filtering by capability, price, context, and provider category. The tool includes ~1,000 benchmark entries from four sources (Artificial Analysis, Epoch AI, Arena, LLM Stats) for head-to-head model comparison using scatter plots and radar charts. You can track 11+ coding agents with automatic version detection, GitHub release integration, and styled changelogs. Additionally, it monitors live health status for 22 AI providers across 7 status page platforms, displaying incidents and maintenance information in a unified dashboard.

1. **Install the CLI/TUI tool**: Run `pip install ai-models-cli` or use the provided executable for your OS. For TUI, launch with `ai-models tui`. 2. **Search for models**: Use the search command `ai-models search --query "Claude 3.5 Sonnet"` or browse interactively in the TUI. 3. **Compare models**: Use `ai-models compare --model1 "Claude 3.5 Sonnet" --model2 "GPT-4o"` to generate a side-by-side comparison table. 4. **Check coding agent updates**: Run `ai-models changelog --agent "Cursor"` to view recent changes and version history. 5. **Export results**: Use `ai-models export --format csv` to save comparisons for further analysis in tools like Excel or Google Sheets. **Tips:** - Use the `--detailed` flag for in-depth technical specs (e.g., `ai-models compare --model1 "Claude 3.5 Sonnet" --detailed`). - Filter models by use case (e.g., `--use-case coding`) to narrow down options quickly. - Bookmark frequently used models for faster access in future sessions.
