Sources
Source links appear directly in every comparison table. This register explains what qualifies as canonical and where the current live dataset originates.
The unified AI directory retains separate API pricing and model-card sources. Weight-access labels link to explicit creator evidence with their own retrieval dates; an API price page alone does not establish whether weights are closed. Download links lead to model repositories, while exact source-document links remain attached to each record.

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.

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.
