BABY puts model pricing up front

BABY is a Windows AI desktop app from CodexGlobalis that connects to OpenRouter and exposes model choice, token costs, and context limits before you send a prompt. Its standout angle is cost transparency: instead of hiding spend behind a generic chat UI, it lets users compare 300+ models and rank them by prompt-versus-completion cost.

// ANALYSIS

Cost visibility is still weirdly rare in AI clients, so BABY’s main idea is sharper than it sounds: make model economics part of the workflow instead of an afterthought.

  • Showing prompt and completion pricing before send is genuinely useful for developers testing across Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, and Llama-class models
  • The ranking slider solves a real optimization problem, since cheap-input and cheap-output models are not always the same thing
  • BABY looks more like a power-user OpenRouter workspace than a mainstream chat app, which gives it a clearer niche
  • The product’s messaging is still rough around the edges, but the core feature set is practical for anyone managing AI usage costs on Windows
