Sinan Lab, the AI Infrastructure Price Ledger
An independent measurement project comparing the real paid prices and reachability of model API resellers, alongside an auditable index of open embodied-AI models.
Field notes
Sinan Lab combines a price-monitoring ledger with a separate embodied-model registry. Its comparison uses reference price, nominal intermediary price, recharge ratio, and exchange rate, while each entry is paired with a source URL and snapshot hash. The homepage says reachability is checked hourly and prices are captured daily. The robotics section records licenses, weights, code, parameter counts, and model-to-robot compatibility; 17 of the 40 listed models are marked as clearly commercial-use permitted and 8 as clearly prohibited.
