Model List and Price Comparison

Model List reads, filters, compares, and verifies the model catalog provided by the current data source. It brings together model, price, and availability information from accounts and API credentials and helps you choose a model and source based on currently loaded, comparable data and your actual use case.

Features at a Glance

• 🔍 Three data sources: All Accounts, a specific account, or an API Credential Profile.
• 💰 Cross-account price comparison: Compare currently available quotes for the same model across accounts using a consistent basis.
• 🎯 Usage-based estimates: Select a scenario such as regular chat, code completion, or coding agent, or adjust input, output, and cache proportions yourself.
• 🏷️ Search, filter, and sort: Search names and descriptions; filter by vendor, billing method, capability, group, or verification result; and sort by price, latency, and other fields.
• ✅ Model verification: Single and bulk verification are one-time probes that check whether a model or endpoint currently works and whether it is CLI-compatible.
• 📦 Keys for a model: Select a compatible key or, when supported, create a Token restricted to that model.

How to Access

1. Click the Model List icon in the extension popup.
2. In the full-page view, open Model List under Interfaces in the sidebar.
3. In Account Management or the API Credential Library, click Open in Model List to open the corresponding source directly.

Core Operations

1. Select a Data Source

Use the Select Data Source dropdown at the top of the page:

• All Accounts: Aggregate every added site account for cross-site comparison.
• Specific Account: View the model catalog for one account.
• API Credential: Read a catalog using a Base URL + API Key saved in the API Credential Library, without creating a site account.

"Provider catalog / personalized catalog" describes an internal data scope for some accounts. It is not a separate top-level data source.

Available information differs by source:

2. Search, Filter, and Sort

• Search: Matches model ID, display name, and description; it does not search site names.
• Vendor tabs: Group models by the parsed vendor, including Uncategorized.
• Billing method: All / Token-based / Per-call.
• Model capabilities: Image, audio, video, PDF, reasoning, tool calling, structured output, and more, when the source supplies capability information.
• Group filter: Filter by account group. In All Accounts, select participating groups separately for each account.
• Test result: Success / Failed / Untested.
• Sort order: Default, price low to high, price high to low, or test latency low to high. All Accounts also offers Lowest Price for Same Model First.
• Price comparison conditions: Under price sorting, select a use case or adjust input, output, cache-read, and cache-write proportions.
• Display content: Actual recharge amount and endpoint type.

Filters and sorting controls appear only when the current source supports them. Do not assume every source has every control.

3. Compare Prices

Click One-click Price Comparison to clear current filters, switch to All Accounts, and sort by the lowest price for the same model.

• Set comparison conditions: Start with a use case or adjust input, output, and cache proportions. For tiered or conditional prices, follow the prompts to enter applicable conditions such as input/output length or image size. Length selects a price tier; it is not the usage for a request.
• Review comparable quotes: Only complete quotes with the same billing unit and matching conditions participate. Fill in missing conditions when prompted. Quotes with incomplete pricing explain why they cannot be compared and are not treated as free.
• Review price details: Check the displayed unit, such as per million tokens, image, second, or request. Different units are compared separately. Expand a model to see price details and group quotes.

Price labels mean:

• Estimated Price: Calculated from available price and group information for filtering. The provider's bill remains authoritative.
• Lowest Price: The lowest comparable quote under the current filters and conditions.
• Best Group: Shown only when exactly one comparable group has the lowest price. No group is selected when the lowest price is tied.

• Price comparison is a local calculation covering only currently loaded data with valid, comparable prices. It is not an official promise, a complete real-time market, or a "lowest price on the internet" claim.
• Missing or invalid prices are not comparable and are never treated as 0 or a default value. When a site explicitly reports a zero price, the model may genuinely be free.
• Price sources can differ, such as site pricing endpoints, official catalogs, and estimates. The page displays source and precision where possible.

4. Switch Groups and Find the Best Group

When a source supports multiple user groups, use the group filter to limit participating groups and expand a model to view group prices. Groups directly affect the actual unit price; confirm that the account can use a group before relying on its quote.

"Best Group" is a local result under the current filters and comparison conditions, not an official provider recommendation or long-term guarantee.

5. Verify One Model

Click the verification icon on a model card:

• Verify API: Send one probe to check whether the model or endpoint currently works and whether its response matches expectations.
• Verify CLI Compatibility: Evaluate whether the model is suitable for CLI tools, such as support for streaming and text generation.

In the Verify API dialog, choose Streaming (the default) or Non-streaming under Test mode. Generation tests use the selected mode, and their results and newly saved history show that mode. If the endpoint rejects a request, you can switch modes and test again; tests do not switch automatically. Fetching the model list is unaffected by this option.

The Verify CLI Compatibility dialog also offers Streaming (the default) and Non-streaming. Each CLI keeps its corresponding API type for the tool-calling probe. Results show the selected mode, and failures do not trigger an automatic mode switch.

• Verification is a one-time probe. It does not guarantee long-term availability or permanent failure.
• CLI compatibility verification does not launch a real external CLI. It performs a protocol-level simulation only.

6. Bulk Test

Click Bulk Test in the toolbar to open Bulk Test Models:

Test mode defaults to Streaming; you can also choose Non-streaming. All selected generation tests in that run use the same mode, which is shown with each result.

1. Select a Test Item, either automatically by endpoint type or explicitly, such as text generation, tool calling, or structured output.
2. Under Models to Run, select or select all models to test.
3. Click Start Bulk Test. Tests run in a queue with at most five concurrent tasks. You can Stop Testing at any time and keep partial results already produced.
4. The dialog shows totals for passed, failed, and skipped tests.

Inapplicable test items are skipped automatically. Results reflect that probe only and are for reference.

7. Keys for a Model

Click the key button on a model card to open Keys for Model:

• Select a compatible key. Only keys whose group or capabilities match are listed.
• When supported, Quick Create a new Token restricted to this model or use Custom Create.

This changes a key or Token. It does not edit the model catalog itself.

8. Refresh Data

Click Refresh Data to request the current source again and invalidate related local caches. Refresh behavior differs by source; refreshed data is determined by the source response.

Boundaries

• Model List does not create, edit, delete, enable, disable, or bulk-sync remote models.
• Model synchronization for self-hosted sites is a separate feature. See Managed Site Model Sync.
