BenchGecko Documentation
Every model. Every agent. Everything AI. Tracked.
BenchGecko is the data layer of the AI economy. Thousands of models with cross-provider pricing and daily price history. Hundreds of companies with valuations, funding timelines, and revenue estimates. Benchmark scores, developer adoption signals, agent leaderboards, and a changelog that captures every price drop, every launch, every deprecation as it happens.
The Platform at a Glance
BenchGecko organizes the AI landscape into ten interconnected data layers:
| Layer | What It Tracks | Explore |
|---|---|---|
| Models | Thousands of AI models with benchmark scores across 128 evaluations | benchgecko.ai/models |
| Providers | Hundreds of inference providers with availability and uptime | benchgecko.ai/providers |
| Pricing | Cross-provider pricing with arbitrage finder and price history | benchgecko.ai/pricing |
| Compare | Side-by-side model comparison across all dimensions | benchgecko.ai/compare |
| Benchmarks | 128 evaluation suites with score evolution over time | benchgecko.ai/benchmarks |
| Agents | 165 AI agents scored on SWE-bench, GAIA, OSWorld, and more | benchgecko.ai/agents |
| MCP Servers | 4,923 Model Context Protocol servers rated and categorized | benchgecko.ai/mcp |
| Economy | AI Bubble Index, valuations, funding, market cap for 71 companies | benchgecko.ai/economy |
| Compute | Supply chain across foundries, chips, memory, systems, and energy | benchgecko.ai/compute |
| Mindshare | Developer attention across Reddit, HN, GitHub, arXiv, and X | benchgecko.ai/mindshare |
Key Indicators
BenchGecko produces several proprietary composite indices:
- Gecko Pulse: A 0-100 health score of the AI ecosystem. Blends the inverse Bubble Index, benchmark velocity, price compression, mindshare diversity, and supply-chain tension.
- AI Bubble Index: Measures whether AI valuations are justified by fundamentals. Currently reading 278% (frothy).
- AICDI: AI Compute Demand Index tracking infrastructure pressure across five supply chain layers.
- Mindshare Pulse: Narrative energy distribution across models, agents, companies, and topics.
Getting Started
For Developers
The BenchGecko API provides free programmatic access to model data, benchmark scores, and pricing. No API key required for the free tier.
import requests
response = requests.get("https://benchgecko.ai/api/v1/models?sort=score&limit=5")
models = response.json()
for model in models["data"]:
print(f"{model['name']}: {model['average_score']} avg, ${model['input_price']}/M in")

For Researchers
BenchGecko maintains open datasets on Harvard Dataverse, Figshare, and Hugging Face. Every page includes a Cite & Share bar with APA, MLA, BibTeX, Chicago, and plain-text citation formats.
For Business
Use the Pricing Calculator to estimate monthly inference costs, the Compare tool to evaluate models against your requirements, and the Economy Dashboard to track the competitive landscape.
