Models & availability
Choose an API edition and understand when the network can serve it.
Choose an API edition
A catalog family describes an upstream model. An API edition is a specific model definition enabled in Router, with its own enforced limits. Use the exact edition ID in your request.
Check availability
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Catalog family | Discovery metadata; not a promise of API support. |
| Enabled API edition | A configured serving definition with Router limits. |
| Online provider | A connected provider that may already be busy. |
| Free capacity | A matching provider able to accept work now. |
| Unknown or stale | Fresh availability evidence is missing. |
List API models
Authenticated SDK clients can use GET /v1/models. The response includes configured editions even when they have no online providers.
curl "$ROUTER_BASE_URL/models" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTER_API_KEY"Respect model limits
Use the API edition’s limits. An upstream family’s context window may be larger than Router’s supported context. The current chat API accepts text; catalog metadata about vision or embeddings does not enable those modalities.
