Tools of InferIndex
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`cheapest`Cheapest current API offers for one model across direct providers and aggregators, in USD per 1M tokens (input, output, blended 3:1). Stale prices, and flex/batch tiers, are excluded by default. Optional filters (context, tools, JSON, vision, region, no training on prompts, open sign-up) and usage (tokens per request, requests per day) to get an estimated cost per request and per month. Returns the winner in detail and one short line per following offer. A condition that is absent was not published by the provider, it never means "no"; a flag not listed in signals is false.

No	Yes	Yes	No
`compare_providers`Current offers for one model, one line per provider and source (direct or via an aggregator), cheapest first (10 by default), with price, quantization, signals and training on prompts when published; the cheapest offer comes in detail. Pass detail: "full" for context, every published condition (data regions, sign-up) and reliability from official status pages on each offer.

`estimate_cost`Estimated cost of a workload on one model at each provider: cost per request, and per month if requests_per_day is given, taking the provider's tiered pricing and prompt-cache price into account. Offers sorted by estimated cost, cheapest first: the cheapest in detail, then one short line per offer with its estimated cost.	Estimated cost of a workload on one model at each provider: cost per request, and per month if requests_per_day is given, taking the provider's tiered pricing and prompt-cache price into account.

`gpu_rentals`Rental offers for one GPU type: provider, price in USD per GPU per hour, number of GPUs in the published configuration, billing and region when published. One block per tier (guaranteed, community, spot), each with its own cheapest offer, also given per configuration (cheapest_by_gpu_count: the price per GPU of a single GPU and of a multi-GPU node are not comparable); tiers are never compared with each other. guaranteed: capacity the provider presents as not interrupted; community: third-party hosts; spot: interruptible capacity. Prices are as published by the provider, and dated. Get the GPU id from list_gpus.

`list_gpus`GPU types whose rental price InferIndex tracks (H100, A100, L40S…), with the lowest price per GPU per hour in USD for each tier (guaranteed, community, spot) and the number of GPUs of that configuration. Prices are per GPU per hour, as published by each provider, and dated. Tiers are different products and are never compared with each other.

`price_history`Price history of one model: every offer tracked by InferIndex (daily or weekly min/max/last price in USD, or raw price changes), plus the official price of the model's lab over time. Give either days, or from/to (YYYY-MM-DD), or at (a date) for the prices in effect that day.

`provider_ranking`Providers ranked by how far below or above the market their prices are: each provider's median gap to the market, in percent (score_pct, negative when below the market), where the market of a model is the median blended 3:1 price of its providers, counted only on models with at least min_providers comparable providers (models_measured). Also the number of models where the provider holds the offer the cheapest tool would select (cheapest_count). Ranked from min_models models measured; refreshed every hour.

`search_models`Find the exact id of an LLM tracked by InferIndex from a name or partial name (e.g. 'deepseek', 'qwen3 max', 'claude opus'). Returns matching model ids and names, best match first.

`self_host_or_api`Is it cheaper to host an open-weights model yourself on rented GPUs, or to use the cheapest API offer? Returns a one-sentence verdict (headline) and the numbers behind it: the break-even volume in million tokens per day, the throughput the whole configuration must deliver for self-hosting to cost less (required_tokens_per_second: compare it with what your setup does), the break-even utilization when a throughput is known, the GPU configuration and its hourly price, and what the verdict rests on (confidence). Without a volume you still get the verdict and the break-even volume. It is an estimate: the throughput is a published measurement (measured), an estimate scaled from one (derived; estimated for a wide range), or a published minimum (lower_bound: a floor, valid for requests of up to 2,048 tokens in total, that can show self-hosting wins, never that the API is cheaper); or you give your own tokens_per_second. When no published figure decides, the headline gives the break-even volume and the required throughput, to compare with yours, rather than a yes or no, and may point out a dearer setup that published figures do decide (settled_alternative: for comparison, not a recommendation). headline_kind and headline_values give the headline as fields. It declines to give a number (status refused, with a reason) when it cannot do so reliably, for example a closed model, weights that do not fit the requested GPU, or a GPU nobody rents. Hardware rental only: the hourly price the provider publishes for the machine. It does not count the engineering to deploy and run the model, monitoring, redundancy, start-up time, or storage and network costs billed separately.
