Model Odds: ranks model families by estimated release chances

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. [1] Anthropic and OpenAI each get their own page that lists every past release. [1]

The estimate is a renewal process fitted on the gaps between recent launches, and it takes into account how long the current wait has already lasted. [1] It runs three estimators side by side and publishes the spread between them as the error bar. [1] Each past launch the model uses has to be confirmed by an official post and an independent timeline, and it is listed with its date. [1]

Signals read automatically from company SDKs and docs, and from third-party model catalogues when two of them agree, can only raise the odds. [1] The estimator can replay any past date without using data from after that date. [1] You can sign up with a confirmed email to get alerts, and every subscriber gets every company's drops at the same time. [1]

An API serves per line odds (/api/v1/odds), the launch record (/api/v1/launches) and service health (/api/v1/health). [1] The website and the API share one snapshot that is cached for up to five minutes. [1]

Model Odds is a website with a public API. [1] It is free, and so is its API, with no account needed. [1] It is a web app that runs in the browser and needs JavaScript. [1]
