OpenRouter offers free models with 1M token context windows

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenRouter's catalog now features five free text models capable of processing one million tokens or more of context. These models, including Nemotron 3 Ultra and thinkingmachines/Inkling, offer a significant context window for tasks like code analysis. However, their usage is limited by low request rates per minute and day, making them suitable for occasional large-scale tasks rather than continuous user-facing applications. Paid models with similar context capabilities are also available on the platform. AI

IMPACT Provides access to large-context models for free, enabling new use cases for code analysis and summarization.

RANK_REASON The item describes a feature of a platform that provides access to AI models, rather than a release from a frontier lab.
