OpenRouter endpoint status could not be refreshed. This model is not treated as currently served until a successful observation arrives.
Current provider status is unavailable.
Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. Rows marked as used were laddered against independently measured peers inside the launch-card channel of this model's modeled placement, with the replay-measured optimism haircut applied; the others played no part.
No general-family board lists this model yet. Its point estimate is the precision-weighted mean of every channel that spoke for it; each channel’s share is the weight it carried. Independent measurements replace this placement as boards list the model.
BES normalizes admitted public benchmark evidence for measured Index rows. Its legacy score and observables prior do not define the public language rank.
These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.
The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.
Experimental estimate. This layer predicts from admitted evidence and safe metadata only. It never enters ModelCap Score or rank.

Market Gravity uses OpenRouter’s full-catalogue popularity order. Sparse Vercel top-ten observations appear only when published and do not affect the score.
This model is visible because it is available in the live catalogue, but it has no trustworthy community result yet. ModelCap does not infer a quality score from price, features, or market activity.

LongCat Flash Thinking 2601 holds ModelCap Index position #45 of 160 ranked language models as of 9 September 2026, with an Index score of 61.3 (interval 51.7–70.9); evidence: modeled · peer benchmarks. The Index combines public benchmark boards with published uncertainty; the methodology page explains the weighting.
No live API price is listed for LongCat Flash Thinking 2601 in the current snapshot as of 9 September 2026 because the latest endpoint refresh was unavailable. ModelCap shows a price only when a provider currently lists one.
