the provider operations team at openrouter is absolutely cooking on automations. 727 new endpoints added in august alone, 23 endpoints a day! our systems allow 75+ providers to self serve onboard their endpoints onto our platform (gated on quality and functionality tests)

i refuse to be locked in but me and my team are also absolutely locked in on all kinds of brilliant.
The biggest lie in AI is that the future belongs to one winner. Every technology wave starts with one company promising that one walled garden is all you'll ever need. And every time, market forces and creativity break the walls down. I cofounded OpenSea and now OpenRouter around the opposite bet: humanity will refuse to be locked in. Intelligence was never meant to belong to one lab, one model, or one gatekeeper. The future of AI is open, plural, and yours to choose.

it is a little funny how similar the gpt v claude debates are to the console wars of yore, with the added factor that the fans of one or the other have little to no loyalty past whoever they’re currently subbed to

saw a post about how openai has “historically bad infra” compared to ant as if H1 didn’t have weekly ant downtime. next week it will be the opposite and the post will trend. goldfish memories and bandwagoning abound

Use the Security Center to manage security across all models: - turn on key spend alerts 🔔 - remove unused keys - set a periodic spend limit on uncapped keys - set a max key lifetime on ALL keys … and more! openrouter.ai/settings/secur…
Today we're launching the first-ever gateway Security Center. @OpenRouter now lets you audit all your keys in one place, see which ones are safe to remove, browse keys by level of risk, and control an IP allowlist.

New from OpenRouter: 7-day average token volume for Anthropic models is up 3.6x since the launch of Opus 5.5 Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 have also been well received.

i am not convinced defenders need abliterated models (outside of redteaming) is there any cyber bench data comparing the versions? does instruction following suffer? does alignment/reward hacking change? @ArtificialAnlys / @ValsAI would be interested in a post about this

i just don’t have an intuition around whether it makes sense to use an abliterated model in a incident response scenario, not that refusals would help there but instead that the abl model might be more willing to take risks and end up causing more damage (or something along those lines - what if the attacker is leaving breadcrumbs for other models to find? is prompt injecting an abliterated model to exfil something that it is supposed to be defending easier?) it’s fairly obvious to me that if you’re a red teamer for your org abliterated makes a lot of sense. it makes me uncomfortable seeing the general dev community want abliterated to presumably be their default for all this security, given how much we’ve seen the labs post about their lack of control over models without guardrails (yes some is likely fear mongering but still)

the eval data here is a start but doesn’t go far enough xitter.cf/skeptrune/status/21131…
🚨 🚨 DEEPSEEK ABLITERATED REFUSES NOTHING & IS JUST AS INTELLIGENT AS THE REGULAR MODEL!! that should scare the hell out of you. there's 0 tradeoff to deleting the weights that cause the model to refuse instructions. they have nothing to do with what makes it intelligent. if you have a digital product that contains any amount of sensitive user data then you should be running an abliterated model against yourself 24/7 to check for vulnerabilities. it's now live on @morphllm with serverless token pricing. i think we're the first provider in the world to do anything like this. you need to kyc & explain your intentions to use it. link here: morphllm.com/privileged-acce…

Kimi K3.1 Pro from @Kimi_Moonshot is live on OpenRouter. A 1M context, multimodal open-weight model, post-trained from Kimi K3 for long-horizon coding and agentic work. $2/M input tokens, $10/M output tokens. Try it: openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kim…
Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro: our most capable 3T-class open-weight model. 🔹 1M-token context, 2.8T total / 104B active params (MoE), Multimodal. 🔹 Full-project coding: games in Unreal, Unity & Godot. 🔹 Excels at parametric 3D modeling in Blender & CAD. 🔹 More reliable at finance work: Accurate modeling with hallucination down by 65%. 🔹 Matching the strongest proprietary models across coding, agentic and knowledge benchmarks. Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed (2–3× faster) are now live on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API. Open weights by Nov 4, 2026. 🔗 API: platform.kimi.ai 🔗 Tech blog: kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3-1-pro
