Provenance

Sources

Source links appear directly in every comparison table. This register explains what qualifies as canonical and where the current live dataset originates.

AI API pricing

The table stores the exact source URL used for each record. Provider pages can change without notice; the visible review date states when the source was last checked.

Virtual machine pricing

The catalog generally selects meaningful entry, balanced, compute, memory, storage, Arm, GPU, and accelerator representatives instead of publishing every near-duplicate size. When a provider's official API is ingested comprehensively, every API-listed SKU is preserved and its regional availability is shown explicitly; unavailable SKUs do not receive fabricated price rows. Prices retain their named region or published scope, native currency, storage, transfer, hourly-cap, and tax qualifications rather than being forced into a single synthetic unit.

Open models

Model sizes, licenses, context windows, and modalities come from official creator repositories on Hugging Face. Each catalog row links directly to the model card used.
