CryptoWorld News reports that according to 1M AI News monitoring, the model routing platform OpenRouter launched two new stealth anonymous models today, with providers not publicly disclosed, both available for free. Hunter Alpha is a 10 trillion parameter pure text model with a context window of 1 million tokens, designed for long-term planning, complex reasoning, and multi-step task scenarios. Healer Alpha is a multimodal model that natively supports visual and audio inputs, with a context window of 262,144 tokens. This follows the launch of Pony Alpha in February this year, with OpenRouter once again releasing anonymous models in the same manner. Pony Alpha at the time sparked similar identity speculation, which was eventually confirmed to be Zhipu GLM-5. Since both models come from the same anonymous provider, some community members speculate that they are Zhipu’s new flagship model and visual language model. Another speculation suggests that Hunter Alpha is DeepSeek V4 (based on 1T parameters and 1 million context window, matching previous rumors), and Healer Alpha is Kimi K3 (based on 262,144 context window, consistent with Kimi K2.5). No official confirmation has been provided yet.
