ModelScout: Find the best LLM for your needs.

ModelScout

ModelScout is a command-line tool designed to help users pick the best LLM for their needs. Modelscout uses the same recommendation algorithm as Macros On Demand a more in-depth example of my SWE work. While ModelScout is simple it serves as a useful stop-gap in the quickly evolving field of LLMs. As the name suggests ModelScout is simply a scout and should serve as the beginning, not the end of your LLM search. Subjective metrics such as performance and the degree to which a model is supported are gathered from various sources and forums (ie. Benchmarks, Reddit, Google trends. etc) and are based largely on community sentiment so should be taken with a grain of salt. Further not the cost per million tokens for open source models are very rough estimates as well.
