BenchGecko open datasets
Daily snapshots of the data BenchGecko collects and computes about the AI economy: model prices across providers, price changes, company figures with sources, developer attention (Mindshare), GPU rental prices and the results of BenchGecko's own model tests (Gecko Tests).
Files are refreshed every day by an automated job. Every day's version is in the git history, so the history of each file is a time series.
