Let a router id pick
If you don't want to choose a model, send one of the anyrouter/* ids. Each one picks a model per request and falls back when an upstream fails.
| Router id | What it does |
|---|---|
| anyrouter/auto | Top-usage and stable models, mixing free and paid hops, with health-aware fallback. |
| anyrouter/free | Curated $0 platform models plus the donated free pool. Never credits. |
| anyrouter/latest | The newest stable chat model that is actually serving traffic. |
| anyrouter/hermes | The best tool-calling model per provider, for autonomous agents. |
| anyrouter/cowork | Tool-calling models for everyday assistant work. |
| anyrouter/decision | System One decision models your BYOK keys can reach. |

Five models are $0 on platform routes today, so they need no provider key. Most are task models (embeddings, safety, parsing, translation); stealth/space-bunny-alpha is the general chat model of the set. For chat, anyrouter/free is usually the easier choice.

Tip: one key, three API shapes
The same sk-ar-v1- key works on the OpenAI Chat Completions, Anthropic Messages, and OpenAI Responses endpoints, so Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code can share one key and one catalog.

What developers actually route through AnyRouter
The catalog has 170+ models across 28+ providers, but that's not what traffic looks like. A handful of models absorb almost all of the free-tier volume, model counts skew hard toward a few owner organizations, and most requests never mention a provider name at all — they arrive tagged by which coding agent sent them. Here's the shape of the catalog and the shape of what people actually call.
Where every -latest alias points today
AnyRouter has 19 family aliases like google/gemini-flash-latest and z-ai/glm-latest. Here is the model each one resolves to on October 10, 2026, and the seven you can call on live routes right now.
