Free model of the week

Nemotron 3.5 Super VL

By NVIDIA · Added Oct 15, 2026 · Context 1M tokens · Input: text, image, video

How we choose: among free models added to OpenRouter in the last 30 days that accept text and have no announced end date, we pick the one with the largest context window (ties go to the newer model). It's a simple, automatic rule, not a quality judgment.
