There are literally dozens of existing projects that are doing what you are trying to do.
Insert XKCD standards reference here:
https://www.helicone.ai/llm-cost
https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/provider_registration/add_model...
https://artificialanalysis.ai/api-reference
https://github.com/simonw/llm-prices
https://github.com/assistant-ui/modelpedia
https://github.com/pydantic/genai-prices
https://github.com/Portkey-AI/models
https://github.com/truefoundry/models
https://github.com/agentstation/starmap

Good point. There isn't really a single database with information about all the availablle AI model databases. Someone should start a community-contributed project to address this!

At this point you have to use more than one to get a complete picture, which I’m doing now. Mainly because: 1) some are not always up to date (started on helicone but felt a lag on price updates) 2) they don’t return every model / provider I want (https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/models has rich data but is a subset, so I combine with helicone)
I always hope for the best when someone has a new list because of this. I want a de facto source!
The boilerplate really does get out of hand sometimes. “There isn’t X. We built X.” Really wish more folks would stick to the older “I couldn’t find X so I built it.”
Or even better. ”We don’t think the existing X matches our goals so we will make a new X”
Just like the claims of "there is no standard way to do X" yet another "standard " called "Y" needs to exist along side the 13+ other non-standards.
