- How do I read this?
Each provider is ranked by a score that I calculated based on input/output price, precision/quality, and features. The higher the score, the better.
A: I prefer using the API directly from the provider rather than through a rotating proxy or similar intermediary, as it sometimes offers better pricing.
Q: Why did you not include Chutes?
A: Chutes pricing is monthly based with the cheapest plan only gives you 300 requests per day. But, you can try Chutes if you want.
Q: How do you determine the quality/precision score?
A: It's based on my own experience and some rough tests and simple observations. It's good enough for my needs.
Q: Where can I find the score for each quantization type?
A: You can find the scores in the YAML files for each model version on GitHub.
Q: Why is provider X not listed?
A: I only include providers that I know of and have pricing info available. If you know any other providers, you can submit a PR on GitHub.
Q: Why I can't register for SiliconFlow account?
A: SiliconFlow is a China-based provider which some phone number countries can't receive their SMS verification code.
