ComputeNav

The price of intelligence, made visible.

Static JSON only (no query API). Same files for automation and humans. CC BY 4.0 — attribute ComputeNav when redistributing.

Quick start

Load in order:

  1. llms.txt — short machine-oriented overview.
  2. index.json — version, endpoints, license, generated_at.
  3. models.json — meta + entries (one object per hosted offer).

Use source_url on each entry to answer “where did this price come from?”. All figures are indicative; confirm with the provider before buying or relying on SLAs.

index.json

Fields include version, endpoints, note, documentation, gcpi, license, generated_at.

models.json shape

{
  "meta": {
    "generated_at": "…",
    "methodology_version": "0.2.0",
    "snapshot_date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
    "n_entries": 0,
    "n_providers": 0,
    "source": "computenav.com",
    "license": "CC BY 4.0"
  },
  "entries": [ { … }, … ]
}

Each entries item = one row in the panel (one offer).

const { meta, entries } = await res.json();

Filtering & ranking

No server-side filters — sort and filter entries in your code. The public site applies its own client-side keyword logic for search; you can mirror that behavior or implement your own.
