Options: --help, -h Show this help message -m, --model Search for specific model(s) -p, --provider Filter by provider --function-calling Show only models that support function calling --vision Show only models that support vision --mode Filter by mode (embedding, chat, completion, rerank, etc) --sort-token Sort by max input tokens (descending) --sort-cost Sort by input cost per token (descending) --sort-by Sort by specific field (max_tokens, max_input_tokens, etc) --group-by Group results by: type, provider, mode, or series (requires --model or --provider) --show-all Show all versions of models (including older ones) -c, --compare Compare multiple models (comma-separated) --verbose [level] Show debug output (default level: 1, max: 2)

Grouping Models

The --group-by option allows you to organize models in different ways:

• provider: Groups by AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• type: Groups by model capabilities (Latest, Vision, etc.)
• mode: Groups by model mode (Chat, Embedding, etc.)
• series: Groups by model series:
  • OpenAI: GPT-4, GPT-4-mini, O1, Embedding, Audio, etc.
  • Anthropic: Sonnet, Haiku, Opus (use --show-all to see legacy models)

Examples: npx aidex --model gemini npx aidex --provider openai npx aidex --function-calling --vision npx aidex --mode chat --sort-cost npx aidex --compare "gpt-4,claude-2" npx aidex --group-by series npx aidex --show-all --group-by type
