mmmodels is a CLI for browsing, filtering, and exploring AI models from hundreds of providers. Built for both humans and agents.
- Lowercase branded banner with no runtime
figletdependency - Interactive TUI for no-arg browsing
- Fuzzy search across model IDs, names, and provider names
- Newer models bubble up first when search relevance ties
- Filtering by provider, capabilities, and status
- Provider-only model lists sorted newest to oldest
- Explicit sorting and limiting with
--sortand--limit - Agent-friendly output with
--fields,--ids-only, and--ndjson - Local disk cache with
syncand per-command-s, --sync/--refresh --plainmode for ASCII, no banner, no color, no spinner- JSON output for automation and scripts
# Run without installing
npx mmmodels

mmmodels
# See the available commands
mmmodels -h
Usage: mmmodels [options] [command]
Browse and filter AI models from models.dev
Options:
--plain plain ASCII output without banner, color,
or spinner

Commands:
search|s [options] [query] Search AI models by query
list|ls [options] List AI models, optionally filtered to a
provider

# IDs only
mmmodels search claude --ids-onlymmmodels claude is shorthand for mmmodels search claude.
search expects a query. Use list when you want to browse all models, especially for a single provider.
When the same Claude, GPT, Gemini, or Llama-family model is available from multiple providers, search results default to preferred providers first: Claude dropik then anthropic, GPT openai, Gemini google, and Llama meta then llama.
Model names are shown exactly as they come from models.dev. If you see (latest) in a label, that is upstream catalog data; the CLI does not append it.
# List all models, newest first
mmmodels list
# List one provider, newest first
mmmodels list --provider anthropic
# Custom ordering
mmmodels list --provider anthropic --sort name
mmmodels list --provider anthropic --sort cost --limit 20
# Apply filters while listing
mmmodels list --provider openai --status beta
mmmodels list --capabilities tools,reasoning
# JSON output
mmmodels list --provider anthropic --json
# Plain ASCII output
mmmodels list --provider anthropic --plain
# Compact table output
mmmodels list --table
mmmodels list --table --provider openai
mmmodels list --table --columns model_id,provider_id,tokens,input_cost,output_cost,cache_cost,reasoning
# Tabular field selection
mmmodels list --provider anthropic --fields id,name,release_date,last_updatedlist orders models from the most recent last_updated or release_date to the oldest. JSON output keeps that same order.
--table renders a width-aware compact table. By default it includes:
model_idprovider_idtokensinput_costoutput_costcache_cost
Add or replace columns with --columns <list>. Available table columns:
provider,model,familyprovider_id,model_idtool_call,reasoninginput,outputinput_cost,output_cost,reasoning_costcache_cost,cache_read,cache_writeaudio_input_cost,audio_output_costtokens,input_limit,output_limitstructured_output,temperature,weightsknowledge,release_date,last_updated,status
If the requested table columns do not fit in the current terminal width, the CLI fails instead of overflowing the layout.
Supported sort values:
search:relevance,latest,name,context,costlist:latest,name,context,cost
Use these flags when you want stable, scriptable output:
--limit <n>caps result count after filtering and sorting--fields <list>prints selected fields only; dot paths likelimit.contextandcost.inputare supported--ids-onlyprints one model ID per line--ndjsonprints one JSON object per line--jsonprints a JSON array
Examples:
mmmodels list --provider anthropic --fields id,name,last_updated
mmmodels search claude --fields id,provider_id,limit.context,cost.input
mmmodels search claude --ids-only
mmmodels search claude --ndjson--ids-only cannot be combined with --json, --ndjson, or --fields.
--table cannot be combined with --json, --ndjson, --ids-only, or --fields.
The CLI keeps a local cache on disk for faster repeated queries and offline fallback.
# Refresh the cache explicitly
mmmodels sync
# Sync before running any command
mmmodels list -s
mmmodels search claude --sync
mmmodels info claude-opus-4-6 -s
mmmodels providers --sync
# `--refresh` still works too
mmmodels list --refreshUse --plain when you want simple terminal-friendly output:
- No banner
- No ANSI color
- No spinner
- ASCII connectors instead of box-drawing characters
Examples:
mmmodels list --provider anthropic --plain
mmmodels search claude --provider anthropic --plain
mmmodels info claude-opus-4-6 --plain
mmmodels providers --plainCapabilities: tools, reasoning, files, open, structured
Status: alpha, beta, deprecated (stable models have no explicit status)
# List all providers
