Model Intel 🧠💰

Live LLM model intelligence — pricing, capabilities, and comparisons from OpenRouter.

When to Use

Finding the best model for a specific task (coding, reasoning, creative, fast, cheap)
Comparing model pricing and capabilities
Checking current model availability and context lengths
Answering "what's the cheapest model that can do X?"

Usage

# List top models by provider
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py list

# Search by name
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py search "claude"

# Side-by-side comparison
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py compare "claude-opus" "gpt-4o"

# Best model for a use case
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py best fast
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py best code
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py best reasoning
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py best cheap
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py best vision

# Pricing details
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/model_intel.py price "gemini-flash"

Use Cases

Command	When
`best fast`	Need lowest latency
`best cheap`	Budget-constrained
`best code`	Programming tasks
`best reasoning`	Complex logic/math
`best vision`	Image understanding
`best long-context`	Large document processing
