Hunter Alpha

The experimental version of our Auto Router where we test new improvements. Use it to get the latest and greatest version of our general purpose auto router, but expect beta quality. When new improvements are proven in auto-beta, we graduate them to the auto router. We've love to hear your feedback on whether auto-beta is working for you, or requests for routing improvements.

To see which model was used, visit Activity, or read the model attribute of the response. Your response will be priced at the same rate as the routed model.

Learn more, including how to customize the models for routing, in our docs.

Fusion turns your prompt into a small multi-model deliberation. A panel of expert models (see below) analyzes your prompt in parallel with web search and web fetch enabled, then a judge model synthesizes their responses into a structured analysis — consensus, contradictions, partial coverage, unique insights, and blind spots — and writes the final answer from it.

By default the panel is the Quality preset; switch to Budget for cheaper members, or override the panel and judge entirely with the fusion plugin's analysis_models and model fields. Reach for Fusion when a single model isn't enough — research, expert critique, or anywhere the cost of being wrong outweighs a few extra completions.

Because Fusion runs every panel member plus a judge call, your request is priced as the sum of those underlying completions rather than a single model. To see which models ran, visit Activity.

Note: Context limits are dependent on which models you select.

Owl Alpha is a high-performance foundation model designed for agentic workloads. Natively supports tool use, and long-context tasks, with strong performance in code generation, automated workflows, and complex instruction execution. Compatible with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and other mainstream productivity tools.

Note: Prompts and completions may be logged by the provider and used to improve the model.

The Pareto Router maintains a tiered shortlist of strong coding models, ranked by Artificial Analysis coding percentiles. Set min_coding_score between 0 and 1 on the pareto-router plugin to control how strong a coder you need; higher scores select stronger (and typically more expensive) models. If you omit min_coding_score, the router defaults to the High tier.

Selecting Nitro from the variant dropdown ranks the models in your tier by measured throughput and routes each request to the fastest one, so you trade some model variety for lower latency.

Read the Pareto Router docs for the full selection logic, fallback behavior, and how to customize routing. For another way to route, see the Auto Router.

Elephant Alpha is a 100B-parameter text model focused on intelligence efficiency, delivering strong performance while minimizing token usage. It supports a 256K context window with up to 32K output tokens, function calling, structured output, and prompt caching. It is particularly well-suited for code completion and debugging, rapid document processing, and lightweight agent interactions.

Note: Prompts and completions may be logged by the provider and used to improve the model.

Healer Alpha is a frontier omni-modal model with vision, hearing, reasoning, and action capabilities. It brings the full power of agentic intelligence into the real world: natively perceiving visual and audio inputs, reasoning across modalities, and executing complex multi-step tasks with precision and reliability.

Note: All prompts and completions for this model are logged by the provider and may be used to improve the model.

This is a cloaked model provided to the community to gather feedback. A reasoning model designed for speed. It is built for coding assistants, real-time conversational applications, and agentic workflows.

Default reasoning effort is set to medium for fast responses. For agentic coding use cases, we recommend changing effort to high.

Note: All prompts and completions for this model are logged by the provider and may be used to improve the model.

Pony is a cutting-edge foundation model with strong performance in coding, agentic workflows, reasoning, and roleplay, making it well suited for hands-on coding and real-world use.

Note: All prompts and completions for this model are logged by the provider and may be used to improve the model.

The simplest way to get free inference. openrouter/free is a router that selects free models at random from the models available on OpenRouter. The router smartly filters for models that support features needed for your request such as image understanding, tool calling, structured outputs and more.

Transform your natural language requests into structured OpenRouter API request objects. Describe what you want to accomplish with AI models, and Body Builder will construct the appropriate API calls. Example: "count to 10 using gemini and opus."

This is useful for creating multi-model requests, custom model routers, or programmatic generation of API calls from human descriptions.

BETA NOTICE: Body Builder is in beta, and currently free. Pricing and functionality may change in the future.
