New models, as they appear
We check the catalogue every hour and write down what is new. 94 models so far; 8 of them we have since tested ourselves.
Most recent: tencent/hy4-preview — first seen Friday, 28 August 2026 at 07:14
“First seen” means first listed on OpenRouter, the router we run every test through — not the date a lab announced it. A model can be announced days before a router carries it, or appear on a router with no announcement at all. We are telling you when it became usable, because that is the thing we actually watched.

Repeat sightings are collapsed to the first one: a model can be listed, withdrawn and listed again, and the honest date is the first time it appeared. Entries marked “alias” are pointers a router keeps to whichever version is current (“always give me the latest”), not new models. Nothing here is written by hand — the scan runs at fourteen minutes past every hour and this page is rebuilt from what it found.
