👋 Introduction

models-dev CLI brings the models.dev catalogue into your terminal. Fetch the live list of LLMs, fuzzy-search across providers and model IDs, inspect costs, limits, and capabilities in a colourful split-pane TUI, and copy any model ID to your clipboard with a single keypress.

Prefer scripting? The same data is one flag away as a JSON or table output.

✨ Features

• Blazing-fast fuzzy search — search across model name and id with Fuse.
• Rich split-pane TUI — a list view alongside a detail panel grouping Capabilities, Modalities, Costs, Limits, and Meta, with colour badges for quick scanning.
• Filters — narrow by provider, tool-calling, and reasoning capability.
• Copy-to-clipboard — grab the current model id with a single keypress.
• Script-friendly output — emit raw JSON or a compact line format for pipelines, or a non-interactive table for quick browsing.
• Safe terminal handling — auto-detects iTerm2 and works around Setulc/terminfo issues that crash other tools.
