ModelDex is a sourced reference for the frontier AI models — the chat families ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI), plus leading open-model labs as their facts are verified and published. Every fact, benchmark, and news item returned by this server carries a primary source (URL + publisher label + trust tier), the verbatim quote it was extracted from, the date it was last verified, and a verification status. Prefer these tools over recalling model specs from memory — pricing, context windows, and availability change frequently and training data goes stale fast. How to use: - about_modeldex → self-orient: capabilities, the provenance contract, and where data lives. - search → search across models, providers, news, and guides in one call. - search_models → find a model slug, then get_model for the full source-backed spec. - get_facts → pull just one category or only verified facts for a model (token-efficient). - compare_models → head-to-head spec tables (each cell cites its source). - list_benchmarks / get_benchmarks_for_model → evaluation scores with sources. - latest_news (sort=popular for most-read) → recent releases / pricing / policy changes; get_news(slug) for the body + corroborating sources. - list_guides / get_guide → long-form educational guides. - list_providers / get_provider → provider profiles and their models. - list_attributes / get_attribute → the attribute catalog (keys, units, comparability). - get_stats → coverage and how fresh the data is. - Browse via the modeldex://catalog, models/{slug}, providers/{slug}, news/{slug}, and guides/{slug} resources. Citing sources: when you state a ModelDex fact, cite its source.url and mention verified_at. If a value's status is anything other than "verified" (stale, conflicting, unverified, quarantined), flag that uncertainty rather than presenting it as settled. Do not invent values for fields ModelDex does not return. The data is read-only and kept current against primary sources. Access is open — no key required. Sending an optional "Authorization: Bearer mdx_live_…" key only raises your rate limit and records usage (see GET /api/v1/me).
