Open-source AI intelligence, measured
A plain list of repositories shows you what exists. olud.ai shows you what moves.
Every morning we rebuild a base of more than 10,000 open-source AI projects. We link 6,800 of them through Project DNA, score 5,254 on four key indicators, and compare the cost of 500+ models per million tokens. Recomputed daily, refreshed hourly.

Project DNA
6,800+ projects linked to their closest relatives by the specific GitHub topics they share. A list of 167 generic tags — python, docker, awesome — is excluded, so « ai » never counts as kinship.
Momentum
Commits over the last four weeks, worth 20 of the 100 health points — and you can read the other 80 too. Stars gained over one day and over seven are tracked separately, project by project.
Emerging detection
100 emerging projects and 50 trending ones, rebuilt every morning from the same graph. Healthy, accelerating, and still little known.
Model comparison
500+ models compared on price per million tokens, context window, modality and tool support. 129 commercial products mapped to their open-source alternatives.
Release tracking
Around 120 repositories followed release by release, with four signed webhook events: release, health, licence, new project.
Put your project in the spotlight
Your open-source project on the olud.ai homepage, in the « Featured » grid seen by every visitor. Claim your project first (free, from its page — you prove you maintain it with one line in the README), then feature it.
One-time boost
- ✓ 3 days on the homepage
- ✓ « Featured » ribbon + link to your page
- ✓ No subscription — perfect for a release
Included with Pro
- ✓ 7 days per feature, renewable
- ✓ Plus everything in Pro: 50k API calls, exports, alerts…
- ✓ Best value if you feature more than once
Three moments this pays for itself
Not a list of integrations — three situations you already recognise, and where the signal reaches you.
A library at the heart of your production has had no commit for six weeks. Nothing broke, so nobody looked. You find out four months later, when a CVE lands and no maintainer answers.
What you get instead: a message in your Slack the morning the health score drops — naming the project, the old score, the new one, and which of the four components moved.
A project goes from four hundred stars to nine thousand in five weeks. By the time it reaches your feed it is on every newsletter, the good integrations are taken, and you are late to something you could have shaped.
What you get instead: the emerging index, rebuilt every morning from growth relative to size rather than raw star counts, pushed straight into your own tooling.
Someone opens a pull request adding a dependency nobody knows. Is it maintained? Who else uses it? Is there a healthier equivalent? The answer takes twenty minutes of tab-hopping, so it usually never happens.
What you get instead: your editor answers it. Ask in plain language and the model reads our graph directly — health, relatives, alternatives, licence.
Everything above is live today and documented step by step — read the setup guides or see every connector.
See it first
Emerging detection surfaces projects gaining traction before they hit the mainstream. Pro and Org get it in real time — the moment our morning scan builds it.
Plug it into your stack
A clean REST API, signed webhooks and CSV exports pipe the whole graph — health, momentum, licenses, releases — straight into your dashboards, Slack or data warehouse.
Never miss a signal
Get alerted when a project's health drops, a new release ships, a license changes or stars spike. Daily on every plan, every 3 hours on Pro and Org.

How it all fits together: read the methodology →
Can I feature my project without subscribing?
Yes — a one-time $14.99 puts your verified project on the homepage for 3 days, no subscription. Claim your project first, then use the button in Your account. Pro plans include 7-day featuring at no extra cost.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Billing runs on Stripe; the customer portal in your account cancels in two clicks. Your plan stays active until the end of the paid period, then falls back to Free automatically.
Do I need a credit card for the Free plan?
No. Free is free forever, no card required. You get an API key on your first call and 500 requests per day.
Where is the documentation?
On the documentation page — the MCP server client by client, the nine API endpoints with examples, webhook payloads and signature verification in PHP, Node and Python, plus the n8n, Zapier, GitHub Action and RSS recipes. Every snippet is copy-paste, and every number on it is read from the running code.
What is the MCP server?
A single address you paste into Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client. Your assistant can then search the 10,000+ open-source AI projects, pull a full project record, find open-source alternatives to a paid product, filter models by price or context window, and see what is trending — without leaving your editor. The configuration is in Your account, ready to copy. MCP calls are counted separately from API requests, so an editor asking a few questions never eats into your API quota.
What happens if I exceed my daily quota?
Requests return HTTP 429 until the daily reset at 00:00 UTC. Nothing breaks, nothing is charged extra — upgrade if you hit the ceiling regularly.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes — upgrade or downgrade anytime from your account. Stripe prorates the change automatically, so you only pay the difference.
How far back does project history go?
We snapshot stars, health and momentum every day. Depth depends on your plan and caps at 7 days on Free, 30 days on Dev, 90 days on Pro & Org. We started snapshotting on 16 July 2026, so the archive is still filling up to those caps.
What are signed webhooks?
Server-to-server notifications: when an event fires (health drop, new release, license change…), we POST it to your URL with an HMAC signature so you can verify it really came from us. Available from the Dev plan up.
Where does the data come from?
GitHub, Hugging Face, OpenRouter, Artificial Analysis, PyPI, npm and Docker Hub — fused every morning into one graph. See the methodology.
