I kept opening the Vercel AI Gateway catalog, staring at a few hundred models, and still not knowing which one to route this week.
Prices move. Discounts show up. A model family can look private while the cheap endpoint trains on prompts. Leaderboards help, but they do not answer the actual shipping question: what should I use right now, and on which route?
So I built bestmodels.dev.
It ranks the live AI Gateway catalog every week from adoption, DeepsecBench, and Artificial Analysis. You get picks by job:
bestmodels.dev ranks Vercel AI Gateway models every week from the live catalog, 7-day adoption, and DeepsecBench. Open it for this week's value and frontier picks, with a ZDR + no-training badge on the route that actually qualifies.
Independent, open source, and free. Privacy and open lanes stay separate. Methodology is public. JSON and weekly archives are on the site.
Eve Directory is an open registry of Eve agents and extensions.
Browse every file in an agent — instructions, tools, skills, channels, evals — with no login. Install into a project with the shadcn CLI (`npx shadcn@latest add @evedirectory/`), or compose agents + extensions in the Composer and export a starter zip.
Built for developers shipping durable backend agents with Eve: discover by category or integration, inspect the real source, and leave with a runnable project — not a black-box demo.
