Model rankings updated April 2026 based on real usage data.
Discover AI models with vision capabilities that can analyze images, understand documents and answer questions about visual content. These multimodal LLMs combine image understanding with powerful language capabilities, enabling applications from document analysis to visual question answering.
Whether you're building tools to interpret screenshots, analyze charts and diagrams, extract text from images or process video frames, OpenRouter provides access to leading vision models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and more through a single API.
This model always redirects to the latest model in the MoonshotAI Kimi family.
Kimi K2.6 is Moonshot AI's next-generation multimodal model, designed for long-horizon coding, coding-driven UI/UX generation, and multi-agent orchestration. It handles complex end-to-end coding tasks across Python, Rust, and Go, and can convert prompts and visual inputs into production-ready interfaces. Its agent swarm architecture scales to hundreds of parallel sub-agents for autonomous task decomposition - delivering documents, websites, and spreadsheets in a single run without human oversight.
This model always redirects to the latest model in the Anthropic Claude Sonnet family.
Sonnet 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model yet, with frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work. It excels at iterative development, complex codebase navigation, end-to-end project management with memory, polished document creation, and confident computer use for web QA and workflow automation.
This model always redirects to the latest model in the Claude Opus family.
Opus 4.7 is the next generation of Anthropic's Opus family, built for long-running, asynchronous agents. Building on the coding and agentic strengths of Opus 4.6, it delivers stronger performance on complex, multi-step tasks and more reliable agentic execution across extended workflows. It is especially effective for asynchronous agent pipelines where tasks unfold over time - large codebases, multi-stage debugging, and end-to-end project orchestration.
Beyond coding, Opus 4.7 brings improved knowledge work capabilities - from drafting documents and building presentations to analyzing data. It maintains coherence across very long outputs and extended sessions, making it a strong default for tasks that require persistence, judgment, and follow-through.

This model always redirects to the latest model in the Google Gemini Flash family.
Gemini 3 Flash Preview is a high speed, high value thinking model designed for agentic workflows, multi turn chat, and coding assistance. It delivers near Pro level reasoning and tool use performance with substantially lower latency than larger Gemini variants, making it well suited for interactive development, long running agent loops, and collaborative coding tasks. Compared to Gemini 2.5 Flash, it provides broad quality improvements across reasoning, multimodal understanding, and reliability.
The model supports a 1M token context window and multimodal inputs including text, images, audio, video, and PDFs, with text output. It includes configurable reasoning via thinking levels (minimal, low, medium, high), structured output, tool use, and automatic context caching. Gemini 3 Flash Preview is optimized for users who want strong reasoning and agentic behavior without the cost or latency of full scale frontier models.
Grok 4.1 Fast is xAI's best agentic tool calling model that shines in real-world use cases like customer support and deep research. 2M context window.
Reasoning can be enabled/disabled using the reasoning enabled parameter in the API. Learn more in our docs
Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s strongest model for coding and long-running professional tasks. It is built for agents that operate across entire workflows rather than single prompts, making it especially effective for large codebases, complex refactors, and multi-step debugging that unfolds over time. The model shows deeper contextual understanding, stronger problem decomposition, and greater reliability on hard engineering tasks than prior generations.
Beyond coding, Opus 4.6 excels at sustained knowledge work. It produces near-production-ready documents, plans, and analyses in a single pass, and maintains coherence across very long outputs and extended sessions. This makes it a strong default for tasks that require persistence, judgment, and follow-through, such as technical design, migration planning, and end-to-end project execution.
