160 in the catalogue today. Every one with what it costs, who sells it and where it stands. 160 in all, a hundred to a page; this is page 2 of 2.

Models that answer in prose across whatever subject you put to them. This is the largest category and the least differentiated: most of them are competent at most things, so the choice usually comes down to price, context length and how the maker behaves about availability. Look at what a model costs per million tokens in and out — the output rate is often four or five times the input rate, and it is the one that decides your bill.

Models whose weights are not published and which are bought through somebody's API. You get the maker's infrastructure, their scale and their uptime, and no way to run the thing yourself or to keep it if it is withdrawn. Most of the strongest models are here, so this is less a choice than a fact about the market; the choice is which seller you buy the same model from, and the catalogue holds their prices side by side.
