Explainable shortlist
31 routes across 14 providers are available to the deterministic filter.
A shortlist, not a procurement decision.
The selector excludes routes that miss a required context window, listed input modality, supported parameter, or monthly budget. It then weights the remaining options by estimated cost, context headroom, capability match, source freshness, and AI on Radar's source-backed radar score. Choosing a priority changes only those documented weights.
This catalog compares model routes visible through the tracked OpenRouter feed. The provider name identifies the model author, not a complete direct-vendor offer. Data retention, residency, uptime, latency, support, moderation, quotas, licensing, and negotiated terms require a separate vendor review. Missing capabilities remain missing instead of being guessed.
