Inception: Mercury
Text Text

Mercury is the first diffusion large language model (dLLM). Applying a breakthrough discrete diffusion approach, the model runs 5-10x faster than even speed optimized models like GPT-4.1 Nano and Claude 3.5 Haiku while matching their performance. Mercury's speed enables developers to provide responsive user experiences, including with voice agents, search interfaces, and chatbots. Read more in the blog post here.

Morph: Fast Apply
Text Text

Morph Apply is a specialized code-patching LLM that merges AI-suggested edits straight into your source files. It can apply updates from GPT-4o, Claude, and others into your files at 4000+ tokens per second. The model requires the prompt to be in the following format: <code>${originalCode}</code>\n<update>${updateSnippet}</update> Learn more about this model in their [documentation](https://docs.morphllm.com/)

Mistral: Mistral Small 3.2 24B
Image Text Text

Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 is an updated 24B parameter model from Mistral optimized for instruction following, repetition reduction, and improved function calling. Compared to the 3.1 release, version 3.2 significantly improves accuracy on WildBench and Arena Hard, reduces infinite generations, and delivers gains in tool use and structured output tasks. It supports image and text inputs with structured outputs, function/tool calling, and strong performance across coding (HumanEval+, MBPP), STEM (MMLU, MATH, GPQA), and vision benchmarks (ChartQA, DocVQA).

MiniMax: MiniMax M1
Text Text

MiniMax-M1 is a large-scale, open-weight reasoning model designed for extended context and high-efficiency inference. It leverages a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture paired with a custom "lightning attention" mechanism, allowing it to process long sequences—up to 1 million tokens—while maintaining competitive FLOP efficiency. With 456 billion total parameters and 45.9B active per token, this variant is optimized for complex, multi-step reasoning tasks. Trained via a custom reinforcement learning pipeline (CISPO), M1 excels in long-context understanding, software engineering, agentic tool use, and mathematical reasoning. Benchmarks show strong performance across FullStackBench, SWE-bench, MATH, GPQA, and TAU-Bench, often outperforming other open models like DeepSeek R1 and Qwen3-235B.

Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite Preview 06-17
Image Text File Text

Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is a lightweight reasoning model in the Gemini 2.5 family, optimized for ultra-low latency and cost efficiency. It offers improved throughput, faster token generation, and better performance across common benchmarks compared to earlier Flash models. By default, "thinking" (i.e. multi-pass reasoning) is disabled to prioritize speed, but developers can enable it via the [Reasoning API parameter](https://openrouter.ai/docs/use-cases/reasoning-tokens) to selectively trade off cost for intelligence.

Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash

Gemini 2.5 Pro is Google’s state-of-the-art AI model designed for advanced reasoning, coding, mathematics, and scientific tasks. It employs “thinking” capabilities, enabling it to reason through responses with enhanced accuracy and nuanced context handling. Gemini 2.5 Pro achieves top-tier performance on multiple benchmarks, including first-place positioning on the LMArena leaderboard, reflecting superior human-preference alignment and complex problem-solving abilities.

OpenAI: o3 Pro
Image Text File Text

The o-series of models are trained with reinforcement learning to think before they answer and perform complex reasoning. The o3-pro model uses more compute to think harder and provide consistently better answers. Note that BYOK is required for this model. Set up here: https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations
