LLM Reference is a decision-support directory for engineers and technology leaders choosing an LLM and provider today. It tracks 1,700+ models, 130+ providers, and 230+ research labs — refreshed weekly with new releases, verified price changes, and benchmark updates. Compare any two models side-by-side, browse editors' picks for coding, agents, writing, research, image, video, and more, and watch the Pulse feed for what changed this week (new models, price cuts, benchmark refreshes, frontier $/1M output pricing). The site is built for fast triage: pick the right model for the job, see who serves it cheapest, and ship.
