Hello, AI
Ask your assistant which frontier model to use and get a live, Elo-backed answer.
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.

🟢recommend_models(task, max_cost, min_context, provider, limit)
Rank Hello, AI's tracked frontier models for a task. Same scoring as GET /api/recommend: task match 40%, Elo 35%, input cost 15%, context 10% (Elo 55%, cost 25%, context 20% when no task matches). Only rated models rank; unrated ones are listed separately. score is an ordering aid, not a quality measure.
