Using the Models Page#

Searching for Models#

Use the search bar at the top to find models by name or provider:

Example searches:

• claude - Shows all Claude models
• gpt-4o - Shows GPT-4o variants
• anthropic - Shows all Anthropic models

The search is case-insensitive and updates results in real-time as you type.

Filtering by Provider Family#

Click the provider buttons to filter by model family:

• All Families - Show all models
• Anthropic - Claude models only
• OpenAI - GPT models only
• Google - Gemini models only
• DeepSeek - DeepSeek models only
• And more...

Each button shows the provider icon for quick visual identification.

Filtering by Tier#

Filter models by their pricing tier:

Tier Benefits:

Each tier has a different rate for your bonus wallet and your prepaid wallet — they are not the same number. See Provider Tiers for the full breakdown, including how a single request can split across both wallets.

• Economy: prepaid 0.2x by default (80% off provider cost); bonus 1.0x (no discount); payable from bonus or prepaid wallet balance
• Standard: prepaid 0.5x by default (50% off provider cost, less for some model families); bonus 1.5x (50% markup); payable from bonus or prepaid wallet balance
• Premium: 1.0x (full provider price, no discount, no bonus/prepaid distinction since bonus can't pay it); payable from prepaid wallet balance only

  • Click the ID or copy button to copy to clipboard
  • Use this ID in your API requests
• Discount Badge - Shows discount percentage if model has a discount applied

Context & Output:

• Context Window - Maximum input size (e.g., "128K" = 128,000 tokens)

Use Cases#

Finding the Right Model#

Scenario 1: Cost Optimization

1. Sort by Price (cheapest first)
2. Filter by Standard tier
3. Compare capabilities to ensure model meets your needs
4. Copy model ID and use in your code

Scenario 2: Long Document Processing

1. Sort by Context (largest first)
2. Look for models with 128K+ context window
3. Check if model has "Tool Use" if you need structured extraction
4. Use models like claude-sonnet-4-6 (200K context)

Scenario 3: Fast Responses

1. Sort by Latency (fastest first)
2. Filter by Standard tier
3. Choose models marked for fast generation
4. Examples: gemini-2.5-flash, gpt-4o-mini

Scenario 4: Vision Tasks

1. Search for models with "Vision" capability badge

Tips & Best Practices#

Maximizing Your Budget#

1. Use Economy or Standard tier when possible - gets a prepaid discount instead of Premium's full price (Economy also works from bonus at full face value; Standard's bonus rate is actually a markup)
2. Enable prompt caching for repeated prompts - Cache reads cost 10x less
3. Match model to task complexity - Don't use Opus for simple tasks
4. Monitor tier rates - on prepaid, Economy is 0.2x by default, Standard is 0.5x by default (less for some model families), Premium is always 1.0x; on bonus, Economy is 1.0x, Standard is 1.5x, and Premium isn't payable from bonus at all

Model Selection Guidelines#

Understanding Discounts#

Models with discount badges show platform-wide discounts applied by ModelStack:

Example:

• Original: $3.00/1M input tokens
• Discount: 10% off
• Your price: $2.70/1M input tokens

This is in addition to your tier's wallet rate — and prepaid and bonus differ:

• Economy, prepaid: $2.70 × 0.2 = $0.54 (default Economy prepaid rate)
• Standard, prepaid: $2.70 × 0.5 = $1.35 (default Standard prepaid rate)
• Standard, bonus: $2.70 × 1.5 = $4.05 (Standard bonus rate is a markup, not a discount)
• Premium: $2.70 × 1.0 = $2.70 (full price, no discount, prepaid only)

Enabling More Tiers#

By default, Economy and Standard tiers are enabled. To access Premium models:

1. Go to Dashboard → Settings
2. Navigate to Model Routing tab
3. Enable Premium tier
4. Return to Models page - newly enabled models will be highlighted
