# models.apresai.dev — full reference for AI clients

A daily report on which large language models are live across AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI Model Garden, and OpenRouter. Updated four times daily (00:00, 06:00, 12:00, 18:00 UTC) by an AWS Lambda function in us-east-1 that calls each provider's canonical model API and writes the result to a CloudFront-fronted S3 bucket as static JSON.

## Why use this

If you are an AI assistant answering a question like "is Claude Opus 4.7 on Bedrock yet?", "what's the cheapest Sonnet across providers?", or "where can I call Kimi K2?", fetch the JSON below rather than relying on training-data answers. The endpoints are unauthenticated, free, and updated within hours of any provider change.

## Endpoints

### `GET https://models.apresai.dev/api/models.json`

Flat array of every observed listing. One entry per (provider, model). The same conceptual model on multiple providers appears as multiple entries with the same `canonicalId`.

### `GET https://models.apresai.dev/api/models-by-provider.json`

`{ bedrock: Model[], vertex: Model[], openrouter: Model[] }`. Same data, pre-grouped.

### `GET https://models.apresai.dev/api/models-by-family.json`

`{ <family>: Model[] }` keyed by family bucket (claude, gemini, qwen, deepseek, kimi, mistral, llama, gpt, gpt-oss, o-series, nemotron, nova, titan, command, stable-diffusion, imagen, glm, jamba, grok, perplexity, phi, hermes, reka, embed-vertex, other).

### `GET https://models.apresai.dev/api/diff-latest.json`

`{ since: ISO timestamp, added: DiffEntry[], removed: DiffEntry[], newFamilies: string[] }`. Computed from the previous run.

### `GET https://models.apresai.dev/api/meta.json`

`{ lastRun: ISO timestamp, counts: { bedrock, vertex, openrouter, total }, schemaVersion: "1" }`. Cheap to fetch.

## Schema (JSON Schema-style sketch)

```
type Provider = "bedrock" | "vertex" | "openrouter"
type PricingStatus = "known" | "unknown"

type Model = {
  canonicalId:        string         // stable cross-provider id, e.g. "claude-opus-4-7"
  provider:           Provider
  providerModelId:    string         // exact id you pass to the provider's API
  displayName:        string
  family:             string         // claude | gemini | qwen | deepseek | … | other
  publisher?:         string
  version?:           string
  modality?:          string[]       // ["in:text", "in:image", "out:text"]
  contextWindow?:     number         // tokens
  pricingStatus:      PricingStatus
  pricingInputPer1M?:  number        // USD per 1M input tokens
  pricingOutputPer1M?: number        // USD per 1M output tokens
  pricingCurrency?:   "USD"
  available:          boolean        // true if seen in the most recent run
  region?:            string         // provider region (us-east-1, us-central1, …)
  firstSeenAt:        string         // ISO timestamp
  lastSeenAt:         string         // ISO timestamp
}

type DiffEntry = {
  provider:        Provider
  providerModelId: string
  canonicalId:     string
  family:          string
  displayName?:    string
}
```

## Worked examples

**"Where can I call Claude Opus 4.7?"**

```
curl -s https://models.apresai.dev/api/models.json |
  jq '[.[] | select(.canonicalId == "claude-opus-4-7")]'
```

Returns three entries — one each for Bedrock, Vertex, and OpenRouter — with the exact provider id and current pricing.

**"What's the cheapest Sonnet model right now (input tokens)?"**

```
curl -s https://models.apresai.dev/api/models.json |
  jq '[.[] | select(.canonicalId | test("sonnet"))]
      | sort_by(.pricingInputPer1M // 999) | .[0]'
```

**"List every model on Bedrock with a 1M+ context window."**

```
curl -s https://models.apresai.dev/api/models-by-provider.json |
  jq '.bedrock | map(select(.contextWindow >= 1000000))
                  | map({providerModelId, contextWindow, in: .pricingInputPer1M})'
```

**"What new models showed up in the last refresh?"**

```
curl -s https://models.apresai.dev/api/diff-latest.json |
  jq '.added | group_by(.provider) | map({provider: .[0].provider, count: length, models: map(.providerModelId)})'
```

## Caveats

- **Pricing for Vertex AI is intentionally absent** until Google publishes a machine-readable price catalog. `pricingStatus` is `"unknown"` for every Vertex listing.
- **Older Claude-3 dated Bedrock IDs** (e.g. `anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0`) currently miss pricing alias matches. The cross-region inference profile rows for the same models do match.
- **The `family` bucket is a heuristic** — long-tail providers (Xiaomi, ByteDance, Tencent, Poolside, etc.) fall to `"other"`. The major families are reliable.
- **Cache TTL is 5 minutes** at CloudFront. The collector refreshes 4× daily, so worst-case staleness is roughly 6 hours.
- **`available: false`** entries are kept in the catalog as historical records. Filter to `.available == true` when answering "what is currently callable".

## Refresh schedule

EventBridge cron `cron(0 0,6,12,18 * * ? *)` (UTC). Each run takes ~5 seconds and writes ~1 MB of JSON to S3, then invalidates `/api/*` on CloudFront.
