Search AI API models by name across text (LLMs), image, video, transcription, tts, search, and embedding categories, returning up to 10 matches with each model's cheapest USD price and provider. Exact slug or prefix matches rank first, then widely sold models. Use model_prices to list every provider for a matched model, or cheapest_models to browse lowest prices in a category.

List standard USD list prices for one AI model at every priced provider, ordered cheapest first (including size or quality variants for media). Returns input, output, and cached token prices for text LLMs (unit rate otherwise) plus each provider's pricing page URL; unpriced providers are omitted. Use find_models if unsure of the name, compare_models for two models, or estimate_monthly_cost for a monthly bill.

Estimate a monthly workload bill in USD across every priced provider for one model, ordered cheapest first (standard list prices only; excludes caching, batch, and volume discounts; unpriced providers are omitted). For text LLMs pass input_million_tokens and/or output_million_tokens; for all other categories pass units. Use model_prices for raw per-unit rates or compare_models for a two-model headline comparison.

Compare two AI models in USD by each model's cheapest priced provider (3 input : 1 output blended per 1M tokens for text LLMs, unit rate otherwise) and provider counts. Optional category scopes both model lookups; cross-category pairs display both prices without a price ratio. Use model_prices for every provider of one model or cheapest_models for category lows.

List the cheapest AI models in a category in USD ranked by lowest provider price, returning up to limit models (default 10). Only priced models appear; text LLMs require at least two priced providers so one-off listings do not crowd the ranking. Use find_models to search by name or model_prices to inspect every provider for one model.
