RadarModel watches the models your app depends on and tells you when one of them changes underneath it. It’s two products on one small engine. RadarModel AI watches the model lists of AI providers. RadarModel Schema watches database schemas for drift: changes made outside your migrations.

Why the Project Exists

An app that calls an AI model calls it by name. gpt-4o, claude-sonnet-4-5, gemini-2.5-flash. Those names don’t stay put. Providers retire models on a schedule, rename them, shrink a context window, add a retirement date, or change the price per token. Each of them announces it somewhere: a changelog, a deprecations page, an email to whoever signed up. Most teams find out when a request fails in production.

The project would like to hear from:

Teams running AI in production who want to say what they’d need RadarModel AI to catch.
Teams whose databases drift who want to say what RadarModel Schema should catch, or which database to cover next.
Anyone who wants another provider covered, such as Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock or Mistral.
Anyone with a question about the tool, its tests or the figures on this site.

Checksums are in SHA256SUMS. Every release is listed on GitHub.

Install

On Linux or macOS:

tar -xzf radarmodel_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv radarmodel-ai radarmodel-schema /usr/local/bin/
radarmodel-ai version
radarmodel-schema version

The binaries are pure Go and need nothing else installed. The macOS binaries aren’t signed by Apple, so macOS may block the first run. Allow it in System Settings under Privacy & Security, or run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine radarmodel-ai radarmodel-schema. On Windows, unzip the archive and run radarmodel-ai.exe or radarmodel-schema.exe from a terminal.

Quick Start

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Five minutes, one config file, and you’ll know the next time a model your app calls changes. First download RadarModel and put radarmodel-ai and radarmodel-schema on your PATH. This page starts with RadarModel AI; RadarModel Schema follows.

1. Write a config

radarmodel-ai init

That writes radarmodel.json in the current folder. Open it and put the models your app actually calls under watch, as provider:model. Remove the providers you don’t use.

{
  "interval": "1h",
  "providers": [
    {"type": "openai"},
    {"type": "openrouter"}
  ],
  "watch": [
    "openai:gpt-4o",
    "openrouter:anthropic/*"
  ]
}

A * matches anything, slashes included, so openrouter:anthropic/* watches every Anthropic model on OpenRouter.

Reference

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Everything RadarModel 0.2 does, in one page: radarmodel-ai first, then radarmodel-schema. The README on GitHub says the same in the repository.

Commands

radarmodel-ai init  [-config FILE]           write a starter config
radarmodel-ai check [-config FILE] [flags]   scan once, compare, report
radarmodel-ai watch [-config FILE] [flags]   scan every interval until stopped
radarmodel-ai show  [-config FILE] SOURCE    list the stored models of a source
radarmodel-ai version

The config is radarmodel.json in the current folder, or the file in $RADARMODEL_CONFIG, or -config FILE.
