Quasar Alpha – An AI model launched by OpenRouter, supporting a million-token context.

What is Quasar Alpha?

Quasar Alpha is a pre-release AI model launched by OpenRouter. It has an ultra-large context window of 1 million tokens, capable of handling super-long texts and complex documents. It features excellent code generation capabilities, fast generation speed, low latency, strong instruction-following ability, and supports networking and multimodal functions. Its security has also been enhanced. Currently, it is fully available for free use on OpenRouter, with a limit on the number of requests.

The main functions of Quasar Alpha

• Ultra-large Context Window: Features a context window of up to 1 million tokens, capable of handling lengthy texts and complex documents.
• Code Generation Capability: Optimized for code generation, capable of quickly producing high-quality code across multiple programming languages.
• High Speed and Low Latency: Generates at an average speed of 136 tokens per second with a latency of only 0.5 seconds, delivering excellent performance.
• Instruction Following Ability: Demonstrates superior performance in instruction following, outperforming Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini Pro 2.5.
• Internet Access Feature: Supports online searching. By appending the “:online” identifier, the AI can search the web before returning results, enhancing the credibility of its answers.
• Multimodal Functionality: Supports multimodal capabilities such as image processing, expanding its range of applications.
