About Quasar Alpha
Quasar Alpha is a stealth AI model released on OpenRouter in April 2025 with a 1-million-token context window, offered free to developers during a testing phase. Early benchmarks placed it competitively with DeepSeek V3 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet on coding tasks, and its API response prefix strongly indicates it is an early pre-release version of OpenAI's GPT-4.1. It is accessible via the OpenRouter API without requiring an OpenAI account.
