Where every card, price, and star comes from. The sync pulls these fresh every day.
- models.devMITSpecs, prices, release dates, and the 200+ providers behind “Where to run it”.
- Hugging Face HubPublic APIOpen models, downloads, likes, parameter counts, and licenses from each lab’s official account, plus the trending list that brings in new labs.
- Hugging Face Inference ProvidersPublic APIHost prices, speed, and first-token latency for open models; the speeds Race the machine and the Terrarium run on.
- Epoch AI Benchmarking HubCC BY 4.0The Capabilities Index behind most quality numbers, plus the GPQA Diamond, SWE-bench Verified, FrontierMath, OTIS Mock AIME, and SimpleQA Verified runs Epoch does itself. Cite as: Epoch AI, ‘Capabilities & Benchmarking’, epoch.ai.
- LMArena leaderboard datasetCC BY 4.0Ratings from Arena’s text, coding, math, writing, web dev, vision, image, and video leaderboards, where people vote between anonymous answers.
- The labs themselvesLinkedEvery card links to its lab’s own docs or Hugging Face page, the original source.
Art
Nothing here is a photo or stock image. Every picture is drawn by code, on your screen.
- Card art and card backOriginalGenerated per model from its lab’s style and its stats, as SVG.
- The AI GalaxyOriginalStars, dust lanes, nebula, and glow are WebGL shaders and particles.
- The AI TerrariumOriginalEvery creature, egg, fossil, tree, and sky is drawn by code on a canvas from the model’s own stats.
