About AIHotspot

AIHotspot is an independent, source-linked record of AI model releases, capabilities and API prices. We make it easier for developers, creators, investors and analysts to follow what changed and where to verify it.

What we track

Our initial coverage includes major model releases and updates from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Meta and xAI. The historical index is a growing record, not a complete list of every past model. We distinguish announcements, availability and later updates.

How we verify

We use official announcements, vendor documentation and pricing pages as primary evidence. Each event links to a source and each model shows when it was checked. Unverified fields are shown as missing, not zero. Prices apply to the stated provider, unit and conditions; verify the current price before use.

Open weights do not automatically make a model open source. We do not treat vendor benchmarks as independent tests, or claim to have tested a model when we have not.

Editorial standards and corrections

The AIHotspot Desk is the publication’s editorial voice. Our guides separate sourced facts from editorial judgment. When a material error is identified, we correct the record and retain the relevant source and date. External sites, prices and availability may change between checks.
