aidex

A CLI tool that provides detailed information about AI language models, helping developers choose the right model for their needs.

Usage

List all GPT models and group by series

npx aidex -m gpt -g

List all OpenAI models and group by type

npx aidex -p openai --group-by type

Compare models

npx aidex --compare gemini,gpt-4o,claude-3-5-sonnet

  -p, --provider <name>  Filter by provider
  --function-calling     Show only models that support function calling
  --vision              Show only models that support vision
  --mode <type>         Filter by mode (embedding, chat, completion, rerank, etc)
  --sort-token          Sort by max input tokens (descending)
  --sort-cost           Sort by input cost per token (descending)
  --sort-by <field>     Sort by specific field (max_tokens, max_input_tokens, etc)
  --group-by <criteria> Group results by: type, provider, mode, or series (requires --model or --provider)
  --show-all           Show all versions of models (including older ones)
  -c, --compare <models>  Compare multiple models (comma-separated)
  --verbose [level]    Show debug output (default level: 1, max: 2)

Grouping Models

The --group-by option allows you to organize models in different ways:

• provider: Groups by AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• type: Groups by model capabilities (Latest, Vision, etc.)
• mode: Groups by model mode (Chat, Embedding, etc.)
• series: Groups by model series:
  • OpenAI: GPT-4, GPT-4-mini, O1, Embedding, Audio, etc.
  • Anthropic: Sonnet, Haiku, Opus (use --show-all to see legacy models)

Examples: npx aidex --model gemini npx aidex --provider openai npx aidex --function-calling --vision npx aidex --mode chat --sort-cost npx aidex --compare "gpt-4,claude-2" npx aidex --group-by series npx aidex --show-all --group-by type
