Free tool plots 250+ models' cost curves: prompt caching ROI, GPU breakeven, VRAM sizing
zackku · reddit · 2026-10-24
A Reddit user launched ModelAnalysis.si, a free no-signup tool that unifies the economics of choosing models: a multi-dimensional Pareto frontier plotting 250+ foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Qwen, Mistral, Meta) across Chatbot Arena Elo, SWE-bench Verified, GPQA and real-time API prices; a token spend simulator that factors in prompt caching hit rates and computes the exact breakeven point vs renting spot GPUs on RunPod; a VRAM calculator across FP16/FP8/Q4 quantization with one-click vLLM/Ollama deployment strings; and head-to-head radar comparisons. The author notes Elo leaderboards ignore caching discounts and batch concurrency — this fills that gap. Feedback requested on production breakeven math.
