pipx install git+https://github.com/atsuya.sakata/llm-models.git
This makes the llms command available globally.
Usage
Interactive Mode (fzf)
llms # Fuzzy search → Enter to copy model ID to clipboard
llms --refresh # Force refresh cache
llms --no-copy # Print model ID to stdout (for piping)
llms --json # Output selected model details as JSON
llms -p anthropic # Filter by provider

Python Library
from llms.client import Client
from llms.query import Query
client = Client()
# Get by ID
model = client.get("anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6")
# List with filters
models = client.list(Query(
caps=["tool_call"],
min_context=128_000,
sort="cost.input",
limit=5,
))
# Text search
results = client.search("claude")
# Providers
providers = client.providers()
Data Source
Model data is fetched from the models.dev /api.json endpoint.
Responses are cached locally for 1 hour at ~/Library/Caches/llms/.
