OpenRouter Replicates Pony Alpha-style Anonymous Onboarding: Two Stealth Models Spark 'Whose Is It?' Speculation Wave

According to 1M AI News, the model routing platform OpenRouter today launched two new Stealth anonymous models, where the provider's identity is undisclosed, both available for free use. Among them, Hunter Alpha is a pure text model with 1 trillion parameters, a 1 million token context window, aimed at long-range planning, complex reasoning, and multi-step task agent scenarios; Healer Alpha is a multimodal model with native support for visual and audio inputs, with a 262,144 token context window.

This follows the February release of Pony Alpha earlier this year, OpenRouter once again launching anonymous models in a similar manner. Pony Alpha at the time sparked similar identity speculation, eventually confirmed to be the Genius Loci Model 5. As these two models now come from the same anonymous provider, there is speculation in the community that they are the flagship model and vision-language model of the Genius Loci's new generation. Another speculation links Hunter Alpha to DeepSeek V4 (based on the 1T parameters and 1 million context aligning with previous rumors) and Healer Alpha to Kimi K3 (based on the 262,144 context window aligning with Kimi K2.5). There has been no official confirmation as of yet.
