A fast CLI and TUI for browsing AI models, benchmarks, and coding agents.

- **Models Tab**: Browse 2000+ models across 85+ providers from [models.dev](https://models.dev), categorized by type (Origin, Cloud, Inference, Gateway, Dev Tool)
- **Benchmarks Tab**: Compare model performance across 15+ benchmarks from [Artificial Analysis](https://artificialanalysis.ai), with creator filtering by source, region, and type
- **Agents Tab**: Track AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Aider, Cursor, etc.) with version detection and GitHub integration

## What's New (v0.8.0)

### Benchmarks Tab (New)
- **Dedicated Benchmarks tab** — browse 400+ model entries from Artificial Analysis with quality, speed, and pricing data
- **Creator sidebar** with 40+ creators, each classified by source (Open/Closed/Mixed), region (US/China/Europe/Middle East/S. Korea/Canada/Other), and type (Startup/Big Tech/Research)
- **Three filter dimensions** — `[4]` source, `[5]` region, `[6]` type — to slice the creator and benchmark lists
- **Quick-sort keys** — `[1]` Intelligence, `[2]` Date, `[3]` Speed — press again to flip direction
- **Dynamic column visibility** — list columns adapt based on the active sort group (knowledge, code, reasoning, math, performance)
- **Detail panel** — non-scrollable flat layout with indexes, benchmark scores, performance metrics, and pricing
- **Null-filtering** — entries missing data for the active sort column are hidden automatically

### Benchmark Matching Pipeline
- **7-tier entity resolution** matching models.dev entries to Artificial Analysis benchmarks (88.2% match rate)
- TF-IDF and Jaro-Winkler fuzzy matching with brand-aware pre-filters
- `fuzzy_compatible()` structural gates for size, version, vision, specialization, and product-tier mismatches

### Other
- **Provider categories** — filter and group providers by type (Origin, Cloud, Inference, Gateway, Dev Tool)
- **OpenClaw agent** added to the agents catalog
- **Responsive layouts** — models tab detail panel scales with terminal height

### Benchmarks Tab
- **400+ benchmark entries** from Artificial Analysis with quality, speed, and pricing scores
- **Creator sidebar** with 40+ creators — filter by source (Open/Closed/Mixed), region (US/China/Europe/...), and type (Startup/Big Tech/Research)
- **Quick-sort keys** — instantly sort by Intelligence, Date, or Speed
- **Dynamic columns** — list columns adapt to show the most relevant benchmarks for the active sort
- **Detail panel** — full benchmark breakdown with indexes, scores, performance, and pricing

### Agents Tab
- **Curated catalog** of 12+ AI coding assistants
- **Version detection** — automatically detects installed agents

repo = "owner/repo"
binary = "my-agent"
version_command = ["--version"]
```
