models
TUI and CLI for browsing AI models, benchmarks, coding agents, and provider statuses from multiple data sources.
Models is a terminal-based interface for exploring AI ecosystem data across multiple categories. It provides access to over 4,000 AI models from 85+ providers, 400 benchmark entries from Artificial Analysis, 11+ coding agents with version tracking, and live status monitoring for 22 AI providers.
The tool offers both a TUI with tabbed navigation and dedicated CLI commands. The models section includes filtering by capability, price, context length, and provider category, with RTFO (Reasoning, Tool-use, Function-calling, Other) capability indicators. The benchmarks section displays performance comparisons with scatter plots and radar charts, while the agents section tracks AI coding assistants with automatic version detection and GitHub integration.
The status monitoring aggregates health data from 7 different status page platforms including Statuspage, BetterStack, and Instatus. Navigation uses arrow keys with tab switching via bracket keys, search with forward slash, and context-aware help via question mark. Data sources include models.dev, Artificial Analysis, and official provider status pages, with a curated agents catalog maintained in the repository.
