Highlights

~4,000+ models across 85+ providers from models.dev — filter by capability, price, context, and provider category
~1,000 benchmark entries across 4 data sources — Artificial Analysis, Epoch AI, Arena, and LLM Stats — compare models head-to-head with scatter plots and radar charts
11+ coding agents tracked with version detection, changelogs, and GitHub integration
22 provider statuses monitored live across 7 status page platforms

What's New in v0.12.1

Mouse support — click a row to select it, click a panel to focus it, click a header tab to switch tabs, and scroll with the wheel. Popups (sort, columns, glossary, trackers, help) scroll and accept row clicks too.

What's New in v0.12.0

Multi-source benchmarks — 4 switchable data sources (Artificial Analysis, Epoch AI, Arena, LLM Stats) with state-preserving switching, in-app refresh, and a benchmark glossary
Column picker — choose which metric columns are visible, persisted per source in config.toml
Comparator column — cycle field average / peer average / rank alongside every score in the detail panel
Refresh keys everywhere — refresh benchmarks, models.dev data, and agent GitHub data without restarting
default_tab config — launch the TUI straight into your tab of choice
Prebuilt Nix binaries — builds are pushed to a public Cachix cache; nix run downloads instead of compiling
