AI Compute Radar
Which open models fit your GPU or Mac, measured. Model momentum, GPU rental prices, weekly pick.
Should I use this
Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

⚪trending_models(limit, slug)
Tracked AI models ranked by Heat Score (0–100, weighted percentiles of measured Hugging Face/OpenRouter signals) with the raw signals, local-run facts (GGUF size, quantization) and links. Models still collecting a week of history have heat=null and rank after scored ones.

}🟢find_fit(hardware, model, context, kv)
Which tracked models run on a given GPU or Mac: measured GGUF weights + computed context cache + runtime overhead versus usable memory. Returns the best recommendation and every verdict (EXCELLENT/GOOD/TIGHT/OFFLOAD_REQUIRED/NOT_RECOMMENDED/UNKNOWN) with plain-language reasons. Get hardware ids from list_hardware.

}🟢gpu_prices
Median verified on-demand rental price per GPU class on Vast.ai (USD per hour), with min/p75 and offer counts, the collection timestamp, and per class the Rent Index: this week's median against last week and against the first week collected, a trend word, and the days excluded as marketplace glitches, plus RunPod's lowest posted on-demand price per class (a list price, not a median) and Clore.ai's median for the same class (a second marketplace, never blended). The index describes what prices did; it never forecasts.

}🟢list_hardware
Curated GPU and Mac profiles the fit engine knows — ids, memory, usable memory after margins, bandwidth. Use an id with find_fit.

}⚪weekly_pick(week)
The current pick of the week: one tracked model chosen by a published rule (largest counted Heat Score rise among models that run comfortably on a consumer card of up to 24 GB), with the numbers frozen at selection time, a device-by-device fit ladder and the written report including its caveats. Pass week (e.g. 2026-w37) for a past issue. issue is null until the first issue is published.
