AI models: news, releases and prices.
What the labs are shipping, what it costs to use, and how that is changing. Prices come from OpenRouter's public model list and update every six hours.
The Epoch Capabilities Index combines many benchmarks into one score, so models can be compared on a single scale (higher is more capable). It comes from Epoch AI, an independent research group, and is not our own test.
