Contiuum AI's OrcaRouter now includes the Tencent Hy4 preview in its free tier, using the same model as the paid version but differing in some metrics.
Key points
•OrcaRouter Adds Free Tier with Premium Model
•Free Grade vs Paid Grade Metrics Differ
•7-Day Traffic for Free Tier is 18 Times More
OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway that has added the Tencent Hy4 preview to its free tier. While it shares the same 100K-token context and weights with the paid version, key metrics differ between the two grades.
In the free grade, 'noindex' is enabled to block search exposure, release date is left blank, and quality score is set to zero. Conversely, the paid grade explicitly shows a release date, quality score, and includes a list of supported endpoints.
The differences between the free and paid grades are evident in their metrics. The free tier offers 2.2 times faster output speed and 18 times more traffic over seven days but has higher error rates and longer p95 latency.
