159 models—which one should you choose? Discover the new API Router model explorer

Hi, this is the Runyour team.

The number of AI models currently available in the Runyour API router is 159.

While having more options is great, opening the model list often leads to a new dilemma.

"So, which one of these is right for my task?"

Every model has different context lengths, costs, and strengths. Comparing names and specs one by one can sometimes take more time than the actual work itself.

That’s why the Runyour API Router has not only improved how you use models, but also the process of finding the right one for you.

You no longer need to scroll through a long list from top to bottom. Sort models by your preferred criteria and get recommendations tailored to your specific needs to make a quick choice.

Compare models by your preferred criteria 

Previously, supported models were displayed in a simple list, but now you can compare essential information on a single screen and sort by the criteria that matter most to you when choosing a model.

Compare by context size 

If you need to analyze long reports, multiple documents at once, or work with large codebases, start with models that offer larger context windows Check it out.

Conversely, if you are focusing on short requests, you can quickly narrow down the necessary models based on context size.

Check input/output costs

In the model list, Cost per 1M input/1M output can be checked immediately.

You can sort models by cost, which is convenient when looking for models to apply to features with frequent calls or high-traffic services.

Filter by provider and model type

You can view models from specific providers or sort models by type, such as text or image, to browse them.

In the list, you can see the following information for each model at a glance:

  • Input/output costs
  • Context size
  • Max output
  • Provider
  • Model ID used for API calls

Switch between list and card views to browse models in the way you prefer.

If you're not sure where to start, begin with our recommended models 

There is no need to compare all 159 models. 

Runyour API Router provides recommended badges for certain models to help you decide which ones to explore first.

However, if you aren't familiar with model names or specifications, there is an even simpler way.

Just choose what you want to do, and we will recommend the perfect model for you. 

‘Recommended Model for You’ feature allows you to start with what you want to build rather than focusing on model names.

Select the task you would like to perform.

  • Writing & Drafting
    Drafting marketing copy, emails, and reports
  • Summarizing & Organizing
    Summarizing long meeting minutes, PDFs, or tables and organizing key information
  • Image Generation
    Creating images for ads, social media, products, and more
  • Classification & Extraction
    Categorizing inquiries or extracting only the necessary information
  • Integrating AI into Your Service
    Connecting AI features like conversation and generation to your existing services
  • Agents & Automated Workflows
    Configure automated workflows that call multiple tools in sequence

Select a task, and we will recommend the model best suited for your goal.

The recommendations don't just show the model name; they also highlight the reasons behind the suggestion, such as ‘natural long-form writing,’ ‘balance of quality and cost,’ or ‘rapid draft iteration.’

Instead of manually comparing benchmarks or specifications for every model, you can quickly narrow down your options based on the task you want to perform.

Stop scrolling through long lists to choose a model

As the number of AI models grows, simply providing a large selection is no longer enough.

You need to be able to quickly find the right model for your task, compare the necessary criteria, and start testing immediately.

Sort models by your preferred criteria in the Runyour API Router, and if you're unsure which one to pick, try using our ‘Recommended for You’ feature.

Instead of reviewing 159 models one by one, start with your task and find the model you need.
