Tools

• list_tasks: The tasks this site covers, with the number of current models and the page for each.
• find_models: Current models for one task, in site order. Pass memory_gb (and device) to keep only models that fit.
• get_model: One model: parameters, license, context length, weight options with file size and memory need, scores with source and date, test status.
• compare_models: The same facts for 2 to 4 models side by side.

All tools are read-only. Answers carry the same numbers, sources and dates as the pages, plus a link to the page. There are no ratings or speed estimates. Each IP address can make 60 requests a minute.
