Developer launches open-source index for LLM API pricing history

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created `ai-price-index`, an open-source project to track and record Large Language Model (LLM) API pricing changes over time. The project addresses the difficulty in determining historical AI model costs due to providers frequently updating their pricing pages without clear changelogs. `ai-price-index` aims to provide a reliable, point-in-time record of these prices, linking each entry to its official source and allowing users to accurately price historical usage. The project currently covers 10 providers and 86 models, with data available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. AI

IMPACT Provides transparency into LLM operational costs, aiding developers in budget management and model selection.
