#119410 registered gpt-6-terra alongside sol and luna from the request text, and the Codex
forward-compat synthesis put it (and -900k) in the live /model picker on every surface.
Nothing serves it: not the Codex account catalog (astra, sol, luna), not OpenRouter (same
three, plus -pro), and OpenAI's model page 404s. Forward-compat is for published tiers the
account catalog has not listed yet, not for guessed names. Removed from the Codex fallback
list and template chain, the context/900k tables, the effort ladder prefixes, the aux-client
family list, and the Nous/OpenRouter static catalogs; catalog JSON regenerated. A contract
test pins the synthesized GPT-6 set to the published tiers.
OpenAI shipped gpt-6-sol / gpt-6-terra / gpt-6-luna as the successors of the
gpt-5.6 tier line (Sol and Luna live on OpenRouter + the Nous Portal today).
The curated aggregator catalogs (OPENROUTER_MODELS and the derived nous list,
plus the published website model-catalog.json) now carry the gpt-6 tiers and
their -pro variants instead of the 5.6 ones; the openai-api curated fallback
lists them ahead of 5.6.
Codex OAuth support mirrors the 5.6 + Astra contract for every gpt-6 tier:
curated fallback + forward-compat synthesis (from the 5.6 twin or 5.5),
272K advertised fallback, the opt-in -900k picker variants with the
live-verified 900K bump (still capped by the catalog's max_context_window),
dated-snapshot eligibility, wire-suffix stripping, the compaction auto-raise
on the base slug, and the gpt-5.6 effort ladder (max allowed, minimal
rejected). Pricing rows for gpt-6-sol / gpt-6-luna come from OpenAI's model
pages (272K whole-request tier like Astra); Terra has no published page yet
so it deliberately has none.
/model gpt keeps resolving to the flagship: "astra" joins the rank-0 suffix
set so gpt-6-astra sorts above gpt-6-sol.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5. Both the OpenRouter catalog and the
Nous Portal /v1/models endpoint serve it (verified with a live max_tokens=16
completion on each route — echoed model matches, usage.cost billed).
- hermes_cli/models_catalog_static.py: opus-5.5 in OPENROUTER_MODELS, above
opus-5 and below the fable-5 flagship pair. The nous list is derived from
the OpenRouter tuple, so the Portal picker picks it up from the same edit.
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated via
scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Provider-agnostic metadata already resolves for the new slug — no edits
needed: DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS key claude-opus-5 substring-matches to
1,000,000 (matches live OpenRouter metadata), and the claude-opus-5
reasoning-timeout prefix matches through the "." separator to the 240s
floor. Both routes bill via official_models_api live pricing, so no
_OFFICIAL_DOCS_PRICING snapshot entry.
a1b1817adf added grok-4.7 to the generated website/static/api/model-catalog.json
by hand without adding it to _PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"], so
tests/hermes_cli/test_model_catalog.py::test_in_repo_lists_match_manifest has been
red on main since. Pin the id first in the nous list (the manifest already had it
first) and regenerate the manifest with scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Both routes serve the slug (tools supported, 1,048,576 context, $0.37/$1.25 per M).
The Nous list is derived from OPENROUTER_MODELS so one tuple edit covers both; the docs
manifest is regenerated in the same commit.
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS gets its own key: substring matching would otherwise land the
slug on the glm-5.3-flash entry (1,310,720) and overstate the window by 25%.
Union Alpha is OpenRouter's new $0 stealth model (262,144 ctx, tools +
tool_choice supported, text+image in). It carries no ":free" suffix, so it
needs an explicit "free, stealth model" description and an _OPENROUTER_ONLY
entry to keep it out of the derived Nous Portal list, plus a "union-alpha"
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS key so the offline resolver returns 262144 instead
of the 256K catch-all. Docs manifest regenerated in the same commit.
Live gate: max_tokens=64 tool-calling completion on origin/main key returned
200, echoed model stealth/union-alpha, usage.cost=0, finish_reason=tool_calls.
Add deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash to OPENROUTER_MODELS (Nous list derives from it),
regenerate the docs manifest, and give the slug its own 1M context entry and 600s
reasoning-stale floor — the longest-key-first scan otherwise lands the new slug on
the 128K `deepseek` catch-all and no floor. Live probed on both routes: echoed
model matches, usage.cost billed.
The bare deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash slug is the pre-snapshot release; both
aggregators now carry deepseek-v4-flash-0731 (and Nous exposes the rolling
~deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-latest alias). Keeping both rows in the curated
picker just duplicates the flash tier.
- OPENROUTER_MODELS (derives the nous list): drop deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash
- model-catalog.json regenerated
Deliberately KEPT: alibaba-token-plan / opencode-go / commandcode / deepseek
direct plugin fallback_models + default_aux_model (bare id is the wire slug
those providers serve), DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS / reasoning floor / pricing
snapshot entries (manually-typed id still behaves), and the
deepseek-chat/deepseek-reasoner -> deepseek-v4-flash alias normalization.
Alibaba shipped qwen3.8-max-0902 (alias qwen3.8-max-2026-09-02), the upgraded
snapshot of Qwen3.8-Max: 1M context / 131K output, $2 in / $6 out. Both
aggregators now serve it and dropped the bare slug from their catalogs
(verified 2026-09-02: OpenRouter /v1/models + a 200 completion echoing the
slug; Nous Portal /v1/models).
- OPENROUTER_MODELS (feeds the nous list too): qwen/qwen3.8-max -> qwen/qwen3.8-max-0902
- _ALIBABA_TOKEN_PLAN_MODELS: qwen3.8-max-preview -> qwen3.8-max-0902
- test_empty_model_fallback fixture follows the nous catalog slug
- model-catalog.json regenerated
No new metadata: DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS substring-matches qwen3.8-max (1M),
reasoning floor prefix fires (180s), both aggregator routes bill via
official_models_api. alibaba/alibaba-cn/opencode-go/setup.py left unchanged
(out of scope).
Six slugs land in the nous and openrouter curated lists, above the gpt-5.6 line:
openai/gpt-6-astra{,-fast,-flex} and openai/gpt-6-astra-pro{,-fast,-flex}.
Nous Portal serves the tiers as distinct slugs (verified live: each echoes its id, service_tier
default/priority/flex, cost 1x/2x/0.5x). OpenRouter serves them as ENDPOINTS of the base model
(tags openai/fast, openai/flex) and silently routes an unknown suffix to the standard tier at
standard price, so the OpenRouter profile rewrites a tier slug to its base wire model and pins
provider.only to that tier's endpoints (OPENROUTER_ENDPOINT_PINS). The base slug is pinned to
openai/azure/azure-us so default routing never lands on a flex or fast endpoint.
Provider-agnostic metadata: one DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS entry (gpt-6-astra: 1,050,000, live on
OpenRouter for both models; substring-matches -pro and the tier suffixes). Pricing is skipped:
both routes bill via official_models_api. Reasoning floor not added (no evidence of long thinks).
Add meta/muse-spark-1.3 and meta/muse-spark-1.3-contributor to the
OpenRouter curated list, the meta-ai provider fallback, the
opencode-zen / opencode-free / opencode-go floors, the setup-wizard
shortlist, and regenerate the hosted model catalog.
Slots above gemini-3.7-flash (kept) in OPENROUTER_MODELS and
_PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"]; openrouter plugin fallback_models bumped
3.7 -> 3.8; model-catalog.json regenerated.
Verified live with test completions on both Nous Portal and OpenRouter
(model echo + billed). Same 1,048,576 window / 65,536 output / pricing
as 3.7-flash, so provider-agnostic metadata resolves via the existing
gemini entries and both routes bill live (official_models_api) — no
pricing snapshot needed.
Scoped to the two named providers: vertex/gemini/kilocode/gmi curated
lists, setup.py samples, and aux defaults untouched.
Curated picker lists (OPENROUTER_MODELS + _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous']) gain
claude-fable-5.1 above claude-fable-5 per newest-first ordering; manifest
regenerated via scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Provider-agnostic metadata verified as already resolving for the 5.1 slug
(no new entries needed): DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS fuzzy-matches the
claude-fable-5 prefix (1,000,000), reasoning stale-timeout floor fires
(600s), and both routes bill via official_models_api (live pricing, no
snapshot entry required).
Live on both providers (verified 2026-08-28 against openrouter.ai/api/v1/models
and inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1/models) but absent from both curated
picker lists. Adds the entry directly below qwen3.8-max per newest-first
family ordering, an explicit 1M DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS entry (new family
slug would otherwise fall through to the generic qwen 131072 catch-all —
same class as #69881), and regenerates model-catalog.json.
Scoped rollout: only the named providers touched. Pricing snapshot skipped
(both routes bill via official_models_api live pricing). Reasoning floor
already fires via the qwen3 prefix entry (180s, verified).
Live /api/v1/models probe (2026-08-27) confirms the id is gone from the
catalog, so the curated picker entry was a dead pick. Manifest
regenerated. No provider-agnostic metadata existed for the slug.
Delist credit: @orouge97 flagged this in PR #80036.
- move minimax/minimax-m3:free into the Free tier section (house
convention: :free SKUs group together, matching glm-5.2:free and the
nemotron :free entries) and regenerate model-catalog.json
- add Inkling family context length (1,048,576 — OpenRouter live
metadata, 2026-08-27) to DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS; new family slug
otherwise fell through to no entry
- add Inkling to the reasoning stale-timeout floor table (300s tier,
same as Grok reasoning / Ox Alpha; OpenRouter marks the family as
reasoning-capable)
- widen the floor matcher's right-anchor separator class to include
':' so OpenRouter SKU suffixes (:free/:batch/:nitro) inherit the
family floor — inkling:free previously missed the inkling entry
- regression tests for the inkling floor + ':' separator
The OpenRouter model picker builds its list from a curated set of model
IDs, then filters against OpenRouter's live catalog. minimax/minimax-m3:free
exists on OpenRouter (free tier, 1M context, tool-calling) but was missing
from both the in-repo fallback list and the remote catalog manifest.
Add it to OPENROUTER_MODELS and website/static/api/model-catalog.json so
the free variant surfaces in the picker alongside the paid one.
Slots below glm-5.3, above glm-5.2 in both curated lists; regenerates
model-catalog.json. No new metadata entries needed: context resolves via
the existing glm-5.3 fuzzy key (1,048,576 — matches OpenRouter live), and
both routes bill via official_models_api (live pricing).
Drops the retired Ox Alpha stealth preview from both curated picker lists
and regenerates website/static/api/model-catalog.json. Metadata entries
(context window, reasoning timeout) and the generic stealth/ free-tier
policy are left intact so manually-entered ids still behave.
Drops the retired Ox Alpha stealth preview from both curated picker lists
and regenerates website/static/api/model-catalog.json. Metadata entries
(context window, reasoning timeout) and the generic stealth/ free-tier
policy are left intact so manually-entered ids still behave.
Follow-up to the salvaged GLM-5.3 support commit: drop z-ai/glm-5.1 from
both curated lists per Teknium's direction (glm-5.2 keeps the 'default'
tag), and regenerate the docs manifest. glm-5.1 remains available via
live discovery and on out-of-scope surfaces (zai plugin, setup defaults,
opencode-go) — named leftovers, not silently swept.
Third surface for the Ox Alpha stealth reasoning model (after the
OpenCode Zen rollout in #91250 and the OpenRouter listing in #91284).
Adds stealth/ox-alpha to the curated Nous list and regenerates the docs
manifest. Free on the portal ($0/$0), 1M context, 131K max output —
verified against the live inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1/models.
Provider-agnostic metadata already resolves via the bare ox-alpha slug
(DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS 1,048,576; reasoning_timeouts 300s floor), and
the nous route bills via official_models_api, so no pricing snapshot is
needed.
First actioned report from the overhauled model-catalog-scout cron
(2026-08-21 validation run), every item re-verified live before edit:
Delisted (gone from live catalogs):
- opencode-zen curated: claude-opus-4-1, qwen3.7-max, qwen3.7-plus
(absent from live zen /v1/models; qwen3.7 family remains on Go)
- OPENROUTER_MODELS free section: poolside/laguna-m.1:free (rotated to
s-2.1/xs-2.1), tencent/hy3:free, inclusionai/ring-2.6-1t:free
Added (present + verified in live catalogs):
- OpenRouter free: z-ai/glm-5.2:free (256K), poolside/laguna-s-2.1:free
+ laguna-xs-2.1:free (262K), nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning:free (1M)
- opencode-go curated: ox-alpha-free (Go-subscription twin of the Zen
keyless Ox Alpha; keyed — Go relay 401s anonymous requests)
Metadata:
- DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS: laguna-s-2.1/xs-2.1 262144;
nemotron-3.5-lightning 1M (overrides the generic 131K nemotron entry);
glm-5.2:free 256K (the free variant is capped below the 1M paid entry)
Keyless-heal hardening (the real find):
- opencode_zen_free_runtime now gates the zen/go→keyless heal on
MEMBERSHIP in the verified opencode-free catalog, not the -free
suffix — ox-alpha-free is a KEYED Go model despite its suffix, and
suffix-based healing would have routed it to a Zen relay that
doesn't serve it (verified: zen 401s 'not supported', go 401s
'Missing API key'). New regression test pins this.
Fixture sweep: tencent/hy3:free catalog assertion updated (delisted
slug); nous-route fixtures using hy3:free as incidental model names
left alone (self-consistent mocks). model-catalog.json regenerated.
Adds OpenRouter's free "Ox Alpha" stealth reasoning model
(stealth/ox-alpha) to the OpenRouter fallback snapshot, plus the
provider-agnostic metadata it needs:
- OPENROUTER_MODELS: free-tier entry (1M ctx)
- DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS: ox-alpha -> 1,048,576 (verified against
OpenRouter live /api/v1/models; without this the slug fell through
to no match)
- reasoning_timeouts.py: 300s stale floor for ox-alpha and the
OpenCode Zen twin slug x-preview-f-free (reasoning model,
long-horizon agentic work per its model card)
- model-catalog.json regenerated
Pricing snapshot skipped: openrouter bills via official_models_api
(live pricing; model is free anyway).
Surface meta/muse-spark-1.2 in the Hermes model selector (CLI, desktop,
gateway) via the curated OpenRouter list and regenerated model-catalog.json.
The model is live on OpenRouter with tool calling; the picker intentionally
does not show the full OpenRouter catalogue.
Swaps the Google flash entry in the OpenRouter and Nous Portal curated
lists to the newly released gemini-3.7-flash (half the price of
3.6-flash: $0.375/M in, $1.875/M out per OpenRouter live metadata;
served on both endpoints, verified live). Also updates the OpenRouter
plugin fallback_models mirror and regenerates model-catalog.json.
Scoped to the two named providers: vertex/gemini/gmi curated lists and
aux defaults still carry 3.6-flash.
Qwen3.8 Max is live on both OpenRouter and the Nous portal
(qwen/qwen3.8-max, 1M context, 131K max output). Per the
newest-max-replaces-last-max convention, it takes qwen3.7-max's slot
in both curated lists.
- hermes_cli/models.py: OPENROUTER_MODELS + _PROVIDER_MODELS[nous]
swap qwen/qwen3.7-max -> qwen/qwen3.8-max
- agent/model_metadata.py: DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS entry for
qwen3.8-max at 1,000,000 (verified against OpenRouter live
metadata and Nous /v1/models 2026-08-03)
- tests/test_empty_model_fallback.py: swap incidental catalog fixture
to the surviving slug
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated
Pricing snapshot skipped: both routes bill via official_models_api
(live pricing), verified with resolve_billing_route. Reasoning
timeout floor already covered by the qwen3 prefix (180s).
Dated snapshot of deepseek-v4-flash, live on both provider endpoints
(verified via OpenRouter /api/v1/models and Nous portal /v1/models).
Context (1M via deepseek-v4-flash prefix match), reasoning stale-timeout
floor (600s), and pricing (official_models_api live billing on both
routes) all resolve without new entries. model-catalog.json regenerated
via scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
- openrouter + nous curated lists: replace google/gemini-3-pro-preview with
google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview as the sole Pro entry, and
google/gemini-3.5-flash with google/gemini-3.6-flash
- remove qwen/qwen3.7-plus and qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b from both lists
- regenerate website/static/api/model-catalog.json
- test fixture: swap qwen3.7-plus catalog-label fixture to qwen3.7-max
(must be a model present in the nous curated list)
Both new Gemini ids verified live on OpenRouter /api/v1/models and the
Nous portal /v1/models (1,048,576 ctx — covered by the existing 'gemini'
prefix in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS).
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5 (+ -fast variant) — both are live on
OpenRouter and the Nous Portal /models endpoint (verified against both
live APIs). Opus 4.8 entries are kept.
- hermes_cli/models.py: opus-5 + opus-5-fast in OPENROUTER_MODELS;
opus-5 in _PROVIDER_MODELS[nous] (Portal serves both, curated list
carries the base model like the rest of the Nous Anthropic block).
Ordering: below fable-5 flagship, above opus-4.8.
- agent/model_metadata.py: claude-opus-5 -> 1M context (matches live
OpenRouter metadata).
- agent/reasoning_timeouts.py: claude-opus-5 -> 240s stale-timeout
floor (same as the opus-4.x thinking family).
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated via
scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Both providers bill via official_models_api (live pricing), so no
_OFFICIAL_DOCS_PRICING snapshot entry is needed for these routes.
The salvaged #55853 commit added anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 blocks to the
manifest, but main already carried them from #56617 — leaving duplicate
entries the manifest-sync test rejects. Rebuilt via
scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Add claude-sonnet-5 to the static curated lists for Anthropic, OpenRouter,
Nous Portal, Copilot, GMI, OpenCode Zen, and AWS Bedrock so the model
appears in hermes model / /model picker discovery.
Fixes#55846
Replaces moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 (recommended) and moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-code
with moonshotai/kimi-k3 in both curated lists, regenerates the published
model-catalog.json manifest, and updates the docs example manifest (en+zh).
kimi-k3 verified live on both endpoints (Nous Portal /v1/models and
OpenRouter /api/v1/models; 1M context, $3/$15 per Mtok). Family-prefix
matching already covers k3 in moonshot_schema, cache policy, and context
heuristics — no code changes needed there.
The remote model catalog (website/static/api/model-catalog.json) now labels
exactly one entry per provider block with "default": true — z-ai/glm-5.2 for
both OpenRouter and Nous Portal. That labeled entry is the model Hermes
silently lands on when the user never picked one, and it can be rotated by
editing the manifest alone: no release needed.
- model_catalog.py: get_default_model_from_cache() reads the label from the
in-process/disk cache only — never triggers a network fetch, so hot
resolution paths (agent build, gateway session setup) stay network-free.
- models.py: get_preferred_silent_default_model() resolves catalog label
first, PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL constant second (offline/fresh
install). _PROVIDER_SILENT_DEFAULT_OVERRIDES dict replaced by
_SILENT_DEFAULT_PROVIDERS routing through the shared resolver.
fetch_openrouter_models() preserves the "default" badge through live
/v1/models refreshes so the picker shows it.
- scripts/build_model_catalog.py: generator emits the default label so
regeneration can't drop it.
- website/docs/reference/model-catalog.md: schema documents the new field.
- Salvaged from PR #61141 (@HumphreySun98): bare-provider /model switches
(/model nous) route through the cost-safe default instead of curated
entry [0].
- tests: catalog-label precedence, constant fallback, stale-label fallback,
cache-only (no network) guarantee, and a shipped-manifest contract test
pinning the labeled entry to PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL.
E2E (temp HERMES_HOME): fresh-install constant fallback, shipped-manifest
label read, release-free rotation (relabeled cache -> new default across
models.py, tui_gateway, and gateway empty-model paths) all verified.
Rerun scripts/build_model_catalog.py so the manifest is source-generated
rather than hand-edited (the -pro rows from the cherry-picked #61587 were
already correct; only updated_at changes).
grok-4.5 is GA and is now the single curated Grok entry on the
aggregator lists. grok-4.3 is NOT retired upstream — it remains fully
usable by typing the model name (validated against the live catalogs);
this only removes it from the short curated picker snapshots. The
xAI-direct list is models.dev-cache-driven and unaffected.
* feat(xai): add grok-4.5 (early access) to catalog, context lengths, and reasoning-effort allowlist
- hermes_cli/models.py: grok-4.5 in _XAI_CURATED_EXTRAS (callable but absent
from models.dev) and _XAI_STATIC_FALLBACK, so the /model picker and
validation surface it on both xai and xai-oauth.
- agent/model_metadata.py: context lengths grok-4.5 -> 500K (per model card)
and grok-build-latest -> 500K (alias); grok-4.5 added to
_GROK_EFFORT_CAPABLE_PREFIXES.
Verified live against api.x.ai /v1/responses (2026-07-08): effort
low/medium/high accepted (server default: high), "none" rejected,
function calling works, full agent turn with terminal tool succeeded.
* feat(xai): grok-4.5 GA — add aggregator catalog entries, refresh comments
grok-4.5 is now GA: models.dev lists it (500K context, effort
low/medium/high) and both OpenRouter and Nous serve x-ai/grok-4.5.
Add it to the OpenRouter fallback snapshot and the Nous static list,
and update the early-access comments.
* chore: regenerate model-catalog.json for x-ai/grok-4.5
- OPENROUTER_MODELS: remove openrouter/owl-alpha (free) and
tencent/hy3-preview{,:free}; add tencent/hy3 and tencent/hy3:free
- _PROVIDER_MODELS[nous]: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
- run_agent.py reasoning-prefix list: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
(prefix match still covers -preview if pinned)
- model_metadata: register hy3 context length (262144) alongside hy3-preview
- regenerate website/static/api/model-catalog.json
- update tokenhub curated-list tests to the new IDs
The tencent-tokenhub direct provider still serves hy3-preview and is
intentionally unchanged.
