How to use these collections
Pick a workload
Each collection ranks models for one job — cost, capability or modality — with the metered rate next to every pick.
Compare before you commit
Head-to-head pages link from every collection, so two candidates can be checked side by side before either ships to production.
Switch with one field
All models share one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Moving between a cheap tier and a flagship model is a one-field change to the model name.
Start with free trial credit
