Sonoma Dusk Alpha

Sonoma Dusk Alpha, a frontier model from openrouter, demonstrates strong overall performance during its testing period. It consistently performs among the fastest models, ranking in the 73rd percentile for speed across six benchmarks. While no cost data is available due to its free testing phase, its "Top 3 in cost" accolades on several benchmarks suggest potential for competitive pricing. Reliability is a standout feature, with a perfect 100% success rate across all benchmarks, indicating exceptional stability and minimal technical failures. The model excels in specific areas. It achieves perfect accuracy in the Ethics benchmark and near-perfect scores in Email Classification (98.0%) and General Knowledge (98.5%), often being among the most accurate models for its speed. Its Coding performance is also robust, with 90.0% accuracy and high speed. However, Instruction Following (43.3% accuracy) and Reasoning (54.0% accuracy) show room for improvement, performing around the 42nd percentile. Despite these areas for development, Sonoma Dusk Alpha presents as a highly reliable, fast, and intelligent general-purpose model with significant strengths in knowledge-based and classification tasks.
