Pass tiers (billing)

BLXBench uses Runner, Scout, Bencher, and Founder passes (see /pass for tiers and checkout on the web):

• Runner — Free: download blxbench, run benchmarks locally, keep reports private
• Scout — $4/month or $40/year: includes 2 public leaderboard submissions per model per ISO week (UTC)
• Bencher — $8/month or $80/year: includes 5 public leaderboard submissions per model per ISO week (UTC)
• Founder — $16/month or $160/year: includes 10 public leaderboard submissions per model per ISO week (UTC) and additional benefits described on the pass page

Submitting reports with --submit requires an API key and a tier that includes submission quota.

Usage in the CLI (/usage / /pass)

After /auth login in blxbench, run /usage or /pass to open an overlay with your account, pass / subscription summary, and weekly public bench quota per model (peak usage vs cap, optional per-model breakdown, UTC reset). Data comes from the same /api/cli/me payload the CLI already uses — self-hosted deployments should expose benchWeekly (including limitPerModel / usageByModel when possible, plus legacy used / limit) in that response if you want the meter to show real numbers; otherwise the overlay may omit or simplify quota. Admin accounts are treated as unlimited when the API does not send a finite limit.

For buying or comparing tiers in a browser, use /pass; the slash commands are terminal-only.

API Keys

Create keys for headless automation and leaderboard submit:

1. Open Account → API Keys
2. Generate a new key
3. Store it in a secret manager — it is shown once

These keys are different from provider keys (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, etc.). Optional: store provider keys in ~/.blxbench/config.json → env (see Configuration — App config file) or in .env; use BLXBENCH_API_KEY (or Account device login) only for BLXBench account features and uploads.

Using API Keys

export BLXBENCH_API_KEY=your-key

blxbench --headless --provider opr --models openai/gpt-5.4-mini --submit

blxbench sign-in (TUI)

For interactive login from the terminal, run /auth login in the TUI. blxbench opens the device login page so you can approve the code in the browser. This creates local blxbench credentials; it is separate from manually generated API keys.

With an eligible pass and role, you can upload from the TUI in three ways: /report submit on (auto-upload when the run finishes), s or r on the post-run screen (manual upload of the new report, regardless of that setting), or /report list to select an earlier report.json and upload it from the replay view. See TUI and Commands.
