Please add openrouter/free to the curated OpenRouter model list used by the Hermes /model picker so it is selectable from the OpenRouter picker.

Root Cause

openrouter/free is the simplest free OpenRouter entry point for users who want a no-cost model/router without having to know or choose a specific :free backend model.

Right now, Hermes's OpenRouter picker uses a curated list, and openrouter/free is not included there, so it is not visible in the picker even though it exists and is usable on OpenRouter.

Summary

Please add openrouter/free to the curated OpenRouter model list used by the Hermes /model picker so it is selectable from the OpenRouter picker.

Why this matters

openrouter/free is the simplest free OpenRouter entry point for users who want a no-cost model/router without having to know or choose a specific :free backend model.

Right now, Hermes's OpenRouter picker uses a curated list, and openrouter/free is not included there, so it is not visible in the picker even though it exists and is usable on OpenRouter.

Current behavior

  • Hermes shows a curated OpenRouter picker list
  • openrouter/free does not appear in that picker
  • Users must know other specific free model IDs instead of using the obvious free router option

Expected behavior

  • openrouter/free should appear in the OpenRouter picker and be selectable there

Evidence

OpenRouter model page:

The live OpenRouter models API includes openrouter/free, and it is free and tool-capable.

Suggested implementation

Add openrouter/free to the curated OpenRouter model catalog used by Hermes so it appears in the /model picker.
