v1.1.14-beta - READY FOR RELEASE 🎉
Date: 2025-10-05 Status: ✅ BETA READY Major Achievement: OpenRouter proxy fixed and working!
🎯 What Was Fixed
Critical Bug: TypeError on anthropicReq.system
Problem:
TypeError: anthropicReq.system?.substring is not a function
Root Cause:
- Anthropic API allows
systemfield to be string OR array of content blocks - Claude Agent SDK sends it as array (for prompt caching features)
- Proxy code assumed string only → called
.substring()on array → crash - Result: 100% failure rate for all OpenRouter requests
Solution:
- Updated TypeScript interface to allow both types
- Added type guards and safe extraction logic
- Extract text from content block arrays
- Comprehensive verbose logging for debugging
Files Changed:
src/proxy/anthropic-to-openrouter.ts- Type safety + array handling + logging

🌟 October 2025 Popular Models (Research)
Based on OpenRouter rankings, these are the most used models:
Top 5 by Usage:
- x-ai/grok-code-fast-1 - 865B tokens (47.5%) - #1 most popular!
- anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet - 170B tokens (9.3%)
- anthropic/claude-4-sonnet - 167B tokens (9.2%)
- x-ai/grok-4-fast - 108B tokens (6.0%)
- openai/gpt-4.1-mini - 74.2B tokens (4.1%)
Why Grok Is Dominating:
- Pricing: $0.20/M input, $0.50/M output (15× cheaper than GPT-5)
- Free tier:
:freeendpoint available - Performance: "Maximum intelligence per token"
- Dual mode: Reasoning + non-reasoning on same weights
Free Models Available:
deepseek/deepseek-r1:freedeepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324:freex-ai/grok-4-fast(via :free endpoint)- Mistral, Google, Meta models
🚧 Known Issues
Llama 3.3 70B Timeout
Status: Intermittent timeout after 20s
Analysis: Not related to system field bug (that's fixed). Possibly:
- Model-specific OpenRouter routing issue
- Network latency for large model
- Rate limiting
Mitigation: Use Llama 3.1 8B instead (works perfectly)
xAI Grok 4 Timeout
Status: Consistent timeout after 60s
Analysis: Grok 4 (full reasoning model) too slow for practical use
Mitigation: Use Grok 4 Fast instead - tested and working perfectly!
GLM 4.6 Output Quality
Status: Garbled output with encoding issues
Output Example: Mixed character encodings, non-English characters in English prompts
Analysis: Model may have language detection or encoding issues
Recommendation: Not recommended for production use
DeepSeek Models
Status: Not fully tested (API key environment issue in test environment)
Models to test:
deepseek/deepseek-chatdeepseek/deepseek-r1:freedeepseek/deepseek-coder-v2
Recommendation: Test in production environment with proper API keys
