Models.dev

models.dev is a directory and intelligence system for large language models that provides a standardized catalog of technical specifications, provider mappings, and pricing data. It serves as a central index for model metadata, including context windows, output limits, and release dates.

The project functions as a capability index and pricing comparison tool, allowing for the analysis of token costs across different hosting providers. It maps generic model names to the specific API identifiers required by various third-party platforms and tracks support for functional features such as tool calling, reasoning, and structured outputs.

The system manages these datasets using a flat-file architecture with static JSON storage and schema-based standardization. It also includes an asset index for retrieving provider branding and logos via SVG files.
