# Models and pricing

Select a model by its API ID, not its display label. The table below loads current model metadata from the public API, including context size and separate input, cached-input, and output prices; without JavaScript or if the refresh fails, it retains a clearly dated fallback.

## Discover model IDs

~~~bash
curl --fail-with-body https://api.simplellm.eu/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SIMPLELLM_API_KEY"
~~~

The OpenAI-compatible response contains `data[].id`, `object`, `created`, and `owned_by`. It does not include prices or a capability matrix.

## Fetch pricing metadata

The public catalogue needs no API key:

~~~bash
curl --fail-with-body https://simplellm.eu/api/models
~~~

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `id` | Model ID to use in a request |
| `display_name` | Human-readable label; not necessarily the request ID |
| `context_length` | Advertised context size in tokens, or null |
| `price_sc_input` | SC per million uncached input tokens |
| `price_sc_cached` | SC per million cached input tokens; null uses the input price |
| `price_sc_output` | SC per million output tokens |
| `enabled` / `status` | Catalogue state; filter out disabled or planned entries |
| `throughput_tps` | Indicative throughput, or null; not guaranteed request speed |

> The current V1 catalogue has a known alias-filtering limitation: a listed alias can refer to a disabled backend model. Listing is not proof of readiness; handle unavailable-model errors rather than assuming every listed ID can immediately serve traffic.

## Choose for your workload

Check the input context, expected output budget, token prices, and the features your integration needs. A large context window alone does not establish support for images, tool calling, or structured output.

Use a short representative request to validate model-specific behavior before a larger job. Do not benchmark production with bulk test traffic.

## Context and cost

Conversation history is sent again with subsequent requests. Keep the system instructions and stable context ordered consistently when possible, but do not assume this guarantees a cache hit.

The maximum usable input depends on the model's context and output budget. Advertised context is not a promise that the entire window can be filled with input while still generating an arbitrary amount of output.

See [billing](/docs/billing.html) for cache accounting and a worked cost example. Audio and image models are configured separately and have their own guides.

## Model catalogue

Static fallback fetched 2026-09-14 from the [public catalogue](https://simplellm.eu/api/models). The browser refreshes this table from the API on page load. Markdown and readers without JavaScript retain this dated fallback; fetch the public catalogue for current data. Only entries reported as enabled and available are included. Throughput is indicative, not an SLA.
