Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I've spent 5 years as an AI scientist at Amazon and now lead research at a YC-backed startup building state-of-the-art AI models. One problem I see our customers run into over and over: choosing the right model for your product is a nightmare! The problem is real and expensive. There were 149 foundation models released in 2023. That doubled from the year before, and 2025-2026 has only accelerated. Meanwhile, the price gap between models is staggering. Frontier models can cost 30-80x more than alternatives that perform equally well on specific tasks. Pick wrong and you're either overpaying massively or shipping worse results than you could be. So what do teams do? They look at leaderboards. But here's the thing: public benchmarks are increasingly unreliable. MMLU is saturated (top models all score 90%+, making it useless for differentiation). Benchmark contamination is well-documented. And the LMSYS Chatbot Arena team has repeatedly shown that static benchmark rankings diverge from real-world human preferences. A model that tops a leaderboard might underperform on your data. The alternative? Spend days or weeks writing custom eval scripts, arguing about methodology, and still ending up with a comparison that isn't statistically rigorous. I've watched teams burn weeks on this, often getting it wrong anyway because running a scientifically sound evaluation is genuinely hard. So we built ModelScout. Upload your dataset (or generate realistic samples through us), pick the models you want to compare, and get a clear answer: which model wins on quality, cost, and latency — for your specific use case. Minutes instead of weeks. This is step one of a bigger vision. New models drop every week, and keeping up is a full-time job. We're building toward a world where ModelScout watches the LLM landscape for you and when a new model launches that could outperform or undercut what you're using, we'll let you know automatically. Would love your feedback. What would make this more useful for your team?
