TL;DR: No LLM provider tells you what a model can do via API. So frameworks build their own registries. LiteLLM maintains a 2600+ entry model_cost_map, LangChain pulls from a third-party database ( models.de ), and smaller projects just hardcode lists. None of this comes from the provider. A single capabilities field on /v1/models would fix this at the source. submitted by /u/init0 [link] [comments]
