The short answer

Hugging Face lists 3,137,122 models on its models page [2], and GPU compute on it starts at $0.60/hour [1]. The LLM Stats Score combines GPQA, SWE-Bench Verified, coding-arena performance and pricing into one comparable ranking [3]. Model Odds ranks every Anthropic and OpenAI model family by its estimated chance of a release within 30 days [4]. If your need is GPU compute, the Hugging Face facts give a starting price [1]. If you want models compared on one score that includes pricing, LLM Stats describes that ranking [3]. If you want to know when Anthropic or OpenAI may release a new model, Model Odds gives an estimate of that chance [4].

What Hugging Face and LLM Stats are built for

Hugging Face's models page lists 3,137,122 models [2]. The page says more than 400,000 organizations are using Hugging Face [1]. GPU compute on Hugging Face starts at $0.60/hour [1]. The LLM Stats Score combines several measures, including pricing, into one comparable ranking [3]. LLM Stats offers a weekly curated digest of models, benchmarks and analysis by email [3]. Its pricing is pulled from each provider's public price list and cross-checked against billing samples through the LLM Stats proxy [3].

What Model Odds is built for

Model Odds is made by the team that publishes this site. It ranks every Anthropic and OpenAI model family by its estimated chance of a release within 30 days [4]. Anthropic and OpenAI each get their own page that lists every past release [4]. Each past launch it uses has to be confirmed by an official post and an independent timeline, and it is listed with its date [4]. The estimate is a model fitted on the gaps between recent launches, and it accounts for how long the current wait has already lasted [4]. It runs three estimators side by side and shows the spread between them as an error bar, a range of uncertainty around the answer [4]. Signals read from company SDKs and docs, and from third-party model catalogues when two of them agree, can only raise the odds [4]. The estimator can also replay any past date without using data from after that date [4].

Pricing and fees

Hugging Face's GPU compute starts at $0.60/hour [1]. The facts used here give no other Hugging Face price, so check its own pricing before you plan a budget. The LLM Stats facts describe how it gathers provider pricing [3], not what the site itself costs, so the cost of LLM Stats is not published here. Model Odds is free, and so is its API, with no account needed [4]. Because the Model Odds price is zero, a developer can test its API before deciding whether it fits a project.

Setting it up and daily use

The facts used here say nothing about installing or setting up Hugging Face, so check its own documentation before you start. Its models page lists 3,137,122 models [2]. LLM Stats offers a weekly curated digest by email [3], and the facts used here say nothing about installing the site, so check its pages for setup. Model Odds is a web app that runs in the browser and needs JavaScript [4]. It is a website with a public API [4], and the API serves per-line odds, the launch record and service health [4]. The website and the API share one snapshot that is cached for up to five minutes [4]. You can sign up with a confirmed email to get alerts, and every subscriber gets every company's releases at the same time [4].

Things to check before you choose

Ask whether you need a catalog of models or a scored ranking. Hugging Face's models page lists 3,137,122 models [2], while the LLM Stats Score aggregates GPQA, SWE-Bench Verified, coding-arena performance and pricing into one comparable ranking [3]. Ask whether a price is part of the decision. The GPU starting price on Hugging Face is $0.60/hour [1], and the facts used here give no price for LLM Stats, so check its own pages. Ask whether you need an estimate of timing for Anthropic or OpenAI releases. Model Odds gives an estimate of the chance of a release within 30 days, not an exact date [4]. Check the spread between its three estimators, which it shows as the error bar [4]. Ask how fresh the figures must be. Model Odds shares a snapshot cached for up to five minutes [4], and the facts used here do not say how often Hugging Face or LLM Stats refresh their figures.

How to choose

If you need GPU compute, Hugging Face's facts give a starting price of $0.60/hour [1]. If you want models ranked on one comparable score that includes pricing, LLM Stats describes that ranking [3]. If you want a catalog of models, Hugging Face's models page lists 3,137,122 of them [2]. If you want to know how likely a new Anthropic or OpenAI model is within the next 30 days, Model Odds ranks each family by that chance [4]. If you need an API for odds and launch history, Model Odds offers one with no account needed [4] [4].

Frequently asked questions

Is Model Odds free to use?

Model Odds is free, and so is its API, with no account needed [4]. It is a web app that runs in the browser and needs JavaScript [4]. You can sign up with a confirmed email to get alerts, and every subscriber gets every company's releases at the same time [4]. The facts used here give no price for LLM Stats, so check its own pages for its cost.

Does Hugging Face charge for GPU compute?

GPU compute on Hugging Face starts at $0.60/hour [1]. That figure is a starting price, so the facts used here do not give the rate for each GPU type [1]. Check Hugging Face's own pricing for the full list before you plan a budget.

How many models does Hugging Face list?

Hugging Face's models page lists 3,137,122 models [2]. The page says more than 400,000 organizations are using Hugging Face [1]. The count is what the page showed when these facts were gathered [2], so check the models page for the current number.

Does LLM Stats show pricing for models?

LLM Stats pulls pricing from each provider's public price list and cross-checks it against billing samples through the LLM Stats proxy [3]. The LLM Stats Score aggregates GPQA, SWE-Bench Verified, coding-arena performance and pricing into one comparable ranking [3]. LLM Stats also offers a weekly curated digest of models, benchmarks and analysis by email [3]. The facts used here give no price for LLM Stats itself, so check its own pages for its cost.

Can Model Odds show the chance of a new Anthropic or OpenAI model release?

Model Odds ranks every Anthropic and OpenAI model family by its estimated chance of a release within 30 days [4]. It runs three estimators side by side and shows the spread between them as an error bar [4]. Each past launch it uses is confirmed by an official post and an independent timeline [4]. The odds are an estimate, not a release date, so use them as a guide to timing [4].

Model Odds is free, and so is its API, with no account needed. [4]
