New models every week, so I built a channel that makes them fight

Описание и применение

Новый канал DEV·TV автоматически сравнивает новые модели OpenRouter по цене и техническим характеристикам, позволяя быстро выбрать лучший вариант.

Задача

Choosing the right new model from OpenRouter’s daily releases is hard because catalog listings lack clear comparison metrics.

Результат

The channel provides instant, transparent comparisons of new OpenRouter models, enabling developers to quickly identify the best specs for their budget without manual browsing.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Fetch OpenRouter public models endpoint.
• 2. Group models by type (Reasoning, Coding, Vision, Chat, Image Gen, etc.) and price tier (Free, Budget, Mid, Premium).
• 3. Pair each model with its closest rival within the same division.
• 4. For each pair, compare price (cheaper wins), context window (larger wins), maximum output (larger wins), and input modalities (more supported wins).
• 5. Award one point per winning row; ties give no points; missing stats skip the row.
• 6. Display the bout result and a weekly leaderboard ranking models by context per dollar, highlighting the cheapest and largest‑context models.
• 7. Repeat weekly as new models are added.

Доказательства

New models land on OpenRouter almost every day. Tracking what dropped is easy. Knowing which one to actually use is harder.

Every bout is decided on specs and price, not intelligence.
