How to choose

Check the release date

The listed models were released from September 23 to October 2, 2026. If recency matters, compare these dates directly rather than relying on the model name alone.

Compare variants in one family

Some makers list more than one model in a family. OpenAI has GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6.1 Sol Pro; Anthropic has Claude Sonnet 5.5 and a batch version; AionLabs lists Aion 3.5 and Aion 3.5 Mini.

Read the full name before choosing, because labels such as Pro, Mini, Flash, batch and free identify different entries.

Review access marks

Use the API, open-source and free-tier marks to see how each model can be accessed. A free label appears in Apodex 1.1 Mini (free).

Open the maker’s page

Each entry links to an official page on OpenRouter. Check that page for the exact model name and maker, such as inclusionAI, Apodex, unbiased, OpenAI, Anthropic, TypeSafe, Perceptron, Fireworks or AionLabs.

Questions

What does the signal score mean?

It is a score out of 10 based on published use, API access, documentation depth, open-source code and a free tier.

Which release dates are covered?

The listed models were released between September 23 and October 2, 2026.

Are there free models on this board?

Apodex 1.1 Mini is labeled “free.” Check each entry’s free-tier mark for access details.

Why do some names have Mini, Pro or batch?

Those labels identify separate model entries. Examples include GPT-6.1 Sol Pro, Aion 3.5 Mini and Claude Sonnet 5.5 (batch).

Where can I verify a model’s details?

Open the official OpenRouter page linked for that entry. It identifies the model and its maker.
