Release date and prices from OpenRouter's catalog; providers from OpenRouter and models.dev. Buying directly from a provider can cost a little differently. Speed, latency and uptime are measured on OpenRouter only; uptime is the share of OpenRouter requests each provider served over the last day. Benchmark scores are the best result per benchmark from Epoch AI, licensed CC BY 4.0. Rank counts every model tracked here with a score.
