What it supports, and what remains undisclosed.

Verified support, explicit non-support and missing disclosure read differently on purpose. A blank is never made to look like a negative finding.

Coverage boundary

OpenRouter usage represents routed developer traffic, not the whole AI market. Timing near an adoption change does not establish causation. Sources checked for this record: OpenRouter routed-traffic rankings, OpenRouter listed price. Provider announcements and independent reporting are not yet monitored and are absent rather than nil.

This model is listed on more than one OpenRouter endpoint. Price observations recorded before 17 September 2026 did not identify the endpoint, so they could not be attributed reliably and have been withdrawn. Price history for this model includes only observations recorded from 17 September 2026, when yellow3 began recording the endpoint with each observation. See the correction record.

Sources and methodology

Every claim keeps its route back to evidence.

Region reflects where the model's developer is headquartered. Figures are OpenRouter routing traffic, aggregated over a trailing seven days - developer routing behaviour, not the whole market.
