Understanding LLM Versioning

AI model versioning follows patterns that help developers understand capabilities and stability. Major versions (GPT-3 → GPT-4, Claude 2 → Claude 3) indicate significant capability improvements and may require prompt adjustments. Minor updates (GPT-4 → GPT-4 Turbo) offer performance optimizations, cost reductions, or context window expansions while maintaining compatibility.

Organizations use various naming conventions: OpenAI uses dated snapshots (gpt-4-0613), Anthropic uses descriptive tiers (Claude 3.5 Sonnet), and Google uses generation markers (Gemini 1.5 Pro). Understanding these patterns helps you make informed decisions about when to upgrade and how to manage deprecations.

The Pace of AI Development

The AI industry is releasing new models at an unprecedented rate. We track 242+ model releases across major organizations. Capabilities that seemed cutting-edge months ago are now baseline expectations.

Key trends include reasoning models (OpenAI o1, DeepSeek-R1) trading speed for accuracy, multimodal capabilities becoming standard across frontier models, and efficiency improvements delivering GPT-4-level performance at dramatically lower costs.

Choosing an API Provider

Key factors for selecting an inference provider

Pricing models

Providers charge per-token (input/output priced separately), per-request, or offer committed use discounts. For high-volume apps, $0.50/M token differences translate to thousands in monthly savings.

Latency & throughput

First-token latency matters for interactive apps; total generation time for batch processing. Throughput (tokens/sec) is critical for real-time applications and agent workflows.

Model selection

First-party providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) offer latest models first. Third-party providers (Together, Fireworks, Groq) often provide same quality at lower cost plus open-source alternatives.

Reliability & support

Uptime, rate limits, and SLAs vary significantly. For production workloads, consider multi-provider strategies with automatic failover. Check our provider rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about LLM updates, version releases, and API changes

What are the latest LLM version updates?

LLM Stats tracks all major language model version releases in real-time. This includes updates from OpenAI (GPT series, o-series), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), Meta (Llama), Mistral, DeepSeek, and other providers. Our timeline shows release dates, new capabilities, benchmark improvements, and feature additions for each version.

How do I track API changes and pricing updates?

Our API Provider Updates section tracks pricing changes, new features, rate limit updates, and API endpoint modifications for all major providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Cloud AI, Azure OpenAI, Together AI, Fireworks, Groq, and more. We also monitor throughput and latency changes.

How do I compare different versions of an LLM?

Use our Model Comparison tool to see side-by-side benchmark performance, capability differences, pricing changes, and context window improvements between model versions. You can compare versions like GPT-4 vs GPT-4 Turbo vs GPT-4o, or track improvements across Claude 3 vs Claude 3.5 releases.

Which organizations release the most LLM updates?

Our Active Organizations section shows the most active AI labs by recent releases. Major contributors include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, Mistral AI, xAI, DeepSeek, Alibaba (Qwen), and many others. Filter by organization to see their complete release history and model families.

How often is this page updated?

LLM Stats updates this page hourly to capture new model releases and API changes as they happen. Our team also manually verifies major announcements from provider blogs, press releases, and official documentation. For real-time updates, follow us on Twitter.
