Show HN: Unify – Dynamic LLM Benchmarks and SSO for Multi-Vendor Deployment

91 points by danlenton ↗ HN
Hey HN! I’m the founder of Unify, and we’ve just released our Model Hub, which provides a collection of LLM endpoints with live runtime benchmarks all plotted across time: https://unify.ai/hub

A key finding is that static tabular runtime benchmarks for LLMs simply do not work. It’s necessary to take a time-series perspective, and plot the variations through time.

We currently have 21 models provided by: Anyscale, Perplexity AI, Replicate, Together AI, OctoAI, Mistral AI and OpenAI, with more on the roadmap.

We test across different regions (Asia, US, Europe), with varied concurrency and sequence length. By plotting across time, our dashboard highlights the stability and variability of the different endpoints, and their ongoing evolution across API updates and system changes. Our benchmarking code is fully open source: https://github.com/unifyai/aibench-llm-endpoints

Our unified API also makes it very easy to test and deploy these different endpoints in production, without needing to create several accounts.

Our Hub is a work in progress, and we will be releasing new features every week.

What are your thoughts? Both positive and negative comments are very welcome. We’ll try to quickly incorporate all feedback!

I recorded a quick(ish) demo video a few hours ago, explaining how to get started, for those who are interested in learning more: https://youtu.be/0a6-C2_Bmh0

There is also a longer version here: https://youtu.be/o8yD_QBhmsw

Finally, as a thanks to HN readers, the promo code “HACKERNEWS” can be used to claim $5 per week in free credits, compatible with our ever expanding list of LLM providers. You can sign up here [https://console.unify.ai/], and claim the free credits here [https://unify.ai/docs/hub/home/pricing.html#top-up-code] if interested.

Thanks all! Dan

The cross region stats are actually quite helpful, this is cool!
Glad it's useful! Let us know if there are any other features you'd like to see :)
This looks awesome, going to be exploring today.
Great! Let us know what you think good and bad. We'll be iterating very quickly.
Congrats on the launch Dan!
Thanks! Really happy with the feedback so far.
The cost comparisons for the same model are interesting. I'm curious about why certain providers are a lot cheaper than others - for example, mistral-8-7b on OctoAI costs $0.2/1m tokens whereas it's $0.66 using mistral's own inference. My best guess is that one includes a cold start. Any thoughts there?
I think different providers are just trying to provide value at different areas in the market. OctoAI are consistently the most cost effective, but typically not as fast, while others are fast but come at a premium. In general, some providers are also willing to operate with little or no positivie margins to gain traction. I think things might stabilize more over time. Will be interesting to see!
