New Model: Kimi K2.6

Added support for Kimi K2.6, Moonshot's latest multimodal agentic model with stronger long-horizon coding, design-to-code, image and video understanding, and large-scale tool-using workflows. Model ID: kimi-k2-6

New Model: GLM-5.1

Added support for GLM-5.1, a frontier-class model built for agentic engineering with state-of-the-art performance on coding benchmarks and sustained reasoning over long tool-use sessions. Model ID: glm-5-1

New Model: Gemma 4 31B

Added support for Gemma 4 31B, a multimodal model from Google DeepMind with image understanding, built-in thinking mode, and native function calling. Model ID: gemma4-31b

Model Sunset: DeepSeek R1

DeepSeek R1 (deepseek-r1-0528) has been removed from the catalog.

Model Sunset: Kimi K2.5 …

Model ID: voxtral-small-24b

New Model: GPT-OSS Safeguard 120B

Added support for GPT-OSS Safeguard 120B, a safety reasoning model for content classification and Trust & Safety applications. Model ID: gpt-oss-safeguard-120b

December 2025

New Model: Kimi K2 Thinking

Added support for Kimi K2 Thinking, an advanced thinking agent with deep multi-step reasoning and stable long-horizon tool orchestration capabilities. Model ID: kimi-k2-thinking

Model Sunset: DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus

DeepSeek V3.1 Terminus (deepseek-v31-terminus) has been removed from the catalog.

Tinfoil Code Sunset

The Tinfoil Code experiment has been discontinued. Maintaining feature parity with the upstream Qwen-Code project proved unsustainable, and we shut down the experiment.
