Models

List available models from the unified catalog.

List models

/v1/models

Returns available models for the authenticated tenant. Respects API key model allowlists.

Response

{
  "object": "list",
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5",
      "object": "model",
      "created": 1700000000,
      "owned_by": "anthropic"
    },
    {
      "id": "openai/gpt-4o",
      "object": "model",
      "created": 1700000000,
      "owned_by": "openai"
    }
  ]
}

Authentication

Requires API key: Authorization: Bearer br_live_...

Model naming convention

All models use the provider/model format. Examples:

Model ID	Provider	Description
`anthropic/claude-opus-5`	Anthropic	Most capable Claude
`anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`	Anthropic	Balanced flagship
`openai/gpt-5.6-sol`	OpenAI	Newest GPT frontier
`google/gemini-3.5-flash`	Google	Fast multimodal
`x-ai/grok-4.6`	xAI	Newest Grok
`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash`	DeepSeek	Strong value

The registered catalog is 40 models across 9 providers; GET /v1/models is always the live source of truth (circuit breakers may hide temporarily-unhealthy models).

Variants

Append a suffix for routing behavior:

anthropic/claude-sonnet-5:floor — cheapest endpoint
anthropic/claude-sonnet-5:fast — lowest latency
anthropic/claude-sonnet-5:best — highest quality
anthropic/claude-sonnet-5:smart — Thompson-sampled endpoint pick (leaderboard reward)

Presets

Use @preset/slug as the model name to reference a saved routing preset.

Model leaderboard

/v1/models/leaderboard

Returns model performance rankings powered by Thompson sampling reward scores. Data is aggregated from a 7-day rolling window of real traffic.

Query parameters

Param	Type	Default	Description
`sort`	string	`overall`	Sort dimension: `overall`, `quality`, `speed`, `value`, `reliability`
`provider`	string	—	Filter to a specific provider (e.g., `anthropic`)

Sort dimensions

Dimension	Description
`overall`	Thompson sampling composite reward (latency + cost + quality + validity)
`quality`	Tool-call accuracy (JSON validity 30% + schema compliance 40% + execution 30%)
`speed`	Lowest EWMA latency first
`value`	Reward per dollar — best bang for buck
`reliability`	Highest success rate first

SDK example

const leaderboard = await client.models.leaderboard({
  sort: "value",
  provider: "anthropic",
});

for (const model of leaderboard.data) {
  console.log(`${model.id}: reward=${model.reward_score} value=${model.value_score}`);
}
