Changed

• Full catalog audit of all 23 providers against official docs and live model APIs (2026-09-05): 28 removals, 42 additions, 37 config fixes, 147 models confirmed unchanged. Catalog goes from 208 to 225 models.

Provider by provider:

• Kilo: the free gateway exploded from 2 to 19 models. Added MiniMax M3 (80.5% SWE-bench Verified, 1M ctx), Thinking Machines Inkling + Inkling Small (1M ctx), StepFun Step 3.7 Flash, Poolside Laguna S 2.1, NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra + 3 Super + 3.5 Lightning, Cohere North Mini Code, Dots3-Note Preview, MiniMax M2.7 and the OpenRouter free router alias. kilo-auto/small is now paid and was removed.
• NVIDIA NIM: removed models that are gone or deprecated (gpt-oss-120b API deprecated 2026-09-02, kimi-k2.6 404, nemotron-nano-3, llama-3.2-11b-vision without endpoint). Added DeepSeek V4 Pro (1M ctx) and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B. kimi-k3 and nemotron-3-super now serve 1M contexts. MiniMax M3 is kept with a deprecation notice (NVIDIA shutdown 2026-09-08).
• Scaleway: applied the July 2026 EOL wave. Removed Devstral 2, Gemma 3 27B and Holo2 (EOL already passed). Qwen3 Coder 30B and Pixtral 12B stay listed with an EOL 2026-10-01 warning since they still answer. The service now bills per token with the first 1M tokens free.
• Routeway: the free catalog was gutted from 13 to 4 models. Kept DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M2.7 and Muse Glimmer 30B (contexts slashed to 42k/42k/131k) and added Kimi K2.6 as the only new free model. 10 free variants are now paid-only.
• Cloudflare Workers AI: kimi-k2.6, kimi-k2.7-code and glm-5.2 moved behind Workers Paid billing and were removed from the free list. Fixed 7 inflated context windows (docs say 24k to 256k, not 128k). Added qwen3.8-27b (262k ctx) as the only new free coder-usable model.
• Qwen / Model Studio: added the new Qwen3.8 family (qwen3.8-max, qwen3.8-flash, qwen3.8-2.4t-a95b, qwen3.8-27b), each with 1M context and a 1M-token international free quota. All 23 existing models verified unchanged.
• Z.ai: added the new coding-plan flagship GLM-5.3 (1M ctx, released 2026-08-18). Filled in official SWE-bench Verified scores for GLM-4.7 (73.8%) and GLM-4.6 (68.0%).
• Mistral: the three Ministral 3 models now serve 256k context (was 128k). Added Z.ai GLM 5.2 (1M ctx, public preview on La Plateforme).
• Groq: added qwen/qwen3.8-27b preview. Fixed gpt-oss-20b SWE-bench score to the official 60.7%. None of the catalog models are on the deprecation list.
• Cerebras: gemma-4-31b was pulled from free public endpoints on 2026-09-03 and is replaced by qwen-3.8-27b (64k free ctx).
• Pollinations: added 3 anonymous-free models: glm-5.3 (1M ctx), Kimi K2.6 (80.2%) and MiniMax M3 (80.5%).
• SiliconFlow: DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B was delisted. Added DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B, Qwen3.5-4B, Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and GLM-4-9B-0414. Both surviving models actually serve 131k context, not 32k.
• OpenRouter: fixed 7 wrong context windows against the live API (GLM-5.2 is 256k, not 1M; Inkling models are 1M; MiniMax M2.7 is 192k). Added ling-3.0-flash-sante:free.
• Ollama Cloud: added glm-5.3 and glm-5.3-flash. Fixed context windows for glm-5.2 (976k), minimax-m3 (512k) and gemma4:31b (256k).
• Novita: the empty free catalog is restored with 2 time-limited $0/M models: Ling 3.0 Flash Fin and Ling 3.0 Flash Sante (256k ctx, coding + function calling).
• SambaNova: MiniMax-M3 context is now 1M tokens (was 196k).
• Codestral: context fixed to 256k. Still free via Mistral's Experiment tier (~1B tokens/month).
• Requesty: fixed the model id typo nvidia/nemotron-nano-3-30b-a3b to the real nvidia/nemotron-3-nano-30b-a3b.
• OVHcloud: added 2 free Qwen3Guard moderation models (beta) and fixed Qwen2.5-VL-72B context to 32k. The chat LLMs are now paid per Mtoken but stay listed for now since they still answer.
• googleai, llm7, orcarouter: verified live and unchanged, nothing to update.

Fixed

• Tests: the t8 family-failover tests now use openai/gpt-oss-20b as NVIDIA primary because gpt-oss-120b was removed from the NVIDIA catalog (deprecated 2026-09-02). The NVIDIA test-model discovery expectations match the new catalog head.
