models

The models CLI/TUI tool is a fast and efficient browser for AI models and coding agents, designed to help developers quickly find and compare AI services. It provides access to over 2000 AI models across 85+ providers from models.dev, organized by categories like Origin, Cloud, Inference, Gateway, and Dev Tools. The tool also tracks 12+ AI coding assistants with version detection and GitHub integration.

The tool offers both command-line interface commands for scripting and automation, and an interactive text-based user interface for browsing and comparing models. Key features include cross-provider search capabilities, filtering and sorting options, one-keypress copying to clipboard, and JSON output support. The Agents tab provides curated tracking of popular AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Aider, and Cursor, with automatic version detection and update notifications.

This tool is particularly valuable for developers, DevOps engineers, and AI practitioners who need to quickly research and compare AI models across different providers, or keep track of the latest versions and updates for AI coding tools. The combination of comprehensive data coverage and efficient browsing capabilities makes it an essential utility for anyone working with AI APIs and services.
