Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Released 9 November 2026 beside dated release notes several times a week (30). 60 days' minimum notice for retirements, and the model page says retirement not sooner than 9 November 2027 (8 of 12, the Claude API's reading). Model shutdowns kept to notice (8). Support centre and dated notes (15). The sampled SDK issue without a reply, per the 1 October check (5 of 10). Current SDKs (15). Runtimes stated (10). 30 + 8 + 8 + 15 + 5 + 15 + 10 = 91.\n- RouterPlus (44): Router, read on the model lines. No changelog or release notes found. The blog, re-read on 4 November 2026, dates the launch of ScaleDown's extract-1 and summarize-1 on chat completions and classify-1 on the decisions API to 13 October 2026, and the catalogue now lists 105 chat models against 19 on 13 October, so the API changed within the last 30 days (30). The docs also date a console change on 17 October 2026 (keys can be copied again), which isn't counted, since it changes the console and not the API. Models carry a `deprecation_date` that delists them automatically, with no notice period stated (3 of 12). `POST /v1/signup` and the magic-link route were removed and Optimize is paused, none with a date we could find (3 of 8). No public changelog. Support is reached through the console and an email address, and wasn't tested (3 of 15). No public issue tracker for the gateway (0 of 10). No official SDK. The docs rely on the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs and give client setups (5 of 15). No package or public repository to check (0 of 10).\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Claude Mythos 5.2 +44\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (85): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Commercial Terms with named contracting parties and Apache 2.0 SDKs (15). Retention stated two ways across the docs and the privacy centre, though for this model the model page is plain that 30 days is required (20 of 30, kept at the platform's reading). Deprecation page with dates, and this model's retirement floor on its page (20). Processing countries and subprocessors named (20). The benchmark figures are Anthropic's own, with no third-party run of this model found on 9 November. 15 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 75.\n- RouterPlus (41): Closed service with no terms of service found. The only terms on the site govern the capacity request form, under EVO HQ Inc (0 of 30). The data policy page is detailed, lists what is stored and why, and gives a 30-day period for request logs and each provider's retention flag. Its 4 November 2026 text, which logs request content by default, no longer agrees with the homepage FAQ; that contradiction is charged once as a misleading claim under negative events, not on this line. There is no privacy policy, no DPA and no retention period for account data such as email addresses (14 of 30, held). Model retirement by `deprecation_date` is documented with no notice period, and no dated deprecation notices were found (4 of 20). The docs name Clerk, Resend and an AWS bucket, and say RouterPlus's own GPUs run in the United States. The form's terms name Supabase, Cloudflare and Resend. No complete subprocessor list or gateway hosting location was found (8 of 20).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Claude Mythos 5.2 +33\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (92): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Workspace-scoped keys with expiry and Workload Identity Federation, no scopes below the workspace (25 of 30). No training on API data without express permission (20). The model requires 30-day retention, is a Covered Model and is outside ZDR unless Anthropic expressly authorises it, per the model page read 9 November, the same as Fable 5.1 (12 of 15). Usage and cost analytics, Compliance API and OpenTelemetry export (15). security.txt, HackerOne and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 (20). Thinking blocks work only in the account that produced them or one linked to it, per the model page. 25 + 20 + 12 + 15 + 20 = 92.\n- RouterPlus (59): Router, read on the model lines. `tm_vk_` keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes and revocable, each bound to a workspace and principal, with per-key RPM and monthly spend caps. Since 17 October 2026 the console also keeps an encrypted copy so an owner or admin can copy a key again, and an organisation can ask for copying to be turned off. Inference keys have no management rights. There are no permission scopes on a key and no SSO or SCIM (24 of 30). RouterPlus says it does not train on request logs and does not share them, and deletes them after 30 days. Most Claude and GPT routes are marked `prompt_logging: retained` with no ZDR, so retention and training upstream rest on each provider's API terms, while DeepInfra's open models, Perplexity, Cloudflare Workers AI, Fastino and RouterPlus's own models declare `none` (12 of 20, held). The data policy re-read on 4 November 2026 says requests and responses to non-dedicated endpoints are now logged by default for up to 30 days for debugging, with recognised keys removed. On 13 October it said content was kept only for hackathon accounts. Opting out takes a request to support, dedicated endpoints are excluded, and the `zdr` and `data_collection: deny` filters still remove every marketplace route, so they work only on the caller's own provider keys. Cloudflare AI Gateway, with default logging and a per-request header to switch it off, has 11 here (7 of 15, 10 before). `GET /v1/generation` lists every attempt behind a request with provider, tokens and cost, and the console has usage and logs (14 of 15). No security.txt (404 on both hosts on 4 November 2026), disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found. The footer's Security link is an email to founders@evo-hq.com (2 of 20). 24 + 12 + 7 + 14 + 2 = 59.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Claude Mythos 5.2 +31\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (90): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. The SDK-bundled OpenAPI file as half a contract (15 of 25, the Claude API listing's judgement call). llms.txt with Markdown twins (10). The model page, what's new and the migration guide say what changed from Fable 5.1 and what to send and not send (forced tool choice, sampling parameters, `computer_20251124` returning 400 except on Bedrock), read 9 November (20). Structured outputs and strict tools GA (15). Documented error types with `request_id` (15). `anthropic-version` and dated release notes (15). 15 + 10 + 20 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 90.\n- RouterPlus (59): Router, scored on the API lines. No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract for the gateway was found. It follows the OpenAI and Anthropic wire formats, which this checklist doesn't credit to a reseller, the same reading as Antseed (0 of 25). llms.txt, llms-full.txt and a Markdown copy of every page (10). Each route page says what it is for, what isn't available, and which route to use for which model, and the agent integration guide lists what not to build on (18 of 20). Request fields follow the upstream formats, and the wire compatibility page tables which fields pass, translate, drop or fail with a typed 400 (12 of 15). Curl, Python and TypeScript examples on every page, and an error reference with a class, status and remedy for each error (15). Routes are versioned under /v1 and the wire compatibility page says changing it needs a recorded decision, but no changelog or dated release notes were found, re-read on 4 November 2026 (4 of 15).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Claude Mythos 5.2 +24\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (95): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. Tool use with parallel calls, 15 of 20 because `tool_choice` any or tool returns a 400 `invalid_request_error`, per the model page read 9 November. Structured outputs (15). Prompt caching with reads at $0.20, 0.025x input, per the pricing page read 9 November (15). 1M context by default and at most, 128K output (15). Batch at half price (10). Official SDKs in seven languages (10). Documented errors, `retry-after` and retries (15). 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 10 + 15 = 95.\n- RouterPlus (71): Router, read on the model lines (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs, errors). Tools pass through on both surfaces, and Anthropic server tools such as web search work for Claude models on `/v1/messages`. Behaviour depends on the model (15 of 20). `response_format` works for GPT ids and the open models (re-read on 4 November 2026), and the docs tell callers to get JSON from Claude through a single tool, so structured output still rests on the provider (8 of 15, held). Cached-input and cache-write prices per model, a session id that keeps provider caches warm, and `cache_control` on the Anthropic surface (13 of 15). The catalogue's largest contexts are 1,050,000 tokens on GPT-6.1 Sol and 1,000,000 on Claude Sonnet 5.5, a judgement call since a router has no default model (15). No batch route (0 of 10). No SDK of its own. The OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs work with a changed base URL, and the docs give setups for ten coding tools (5 of 10). A stable `error_type` in every body and header, an origin header, the limit that refused a request, and `x-tm-dropped-params` naming every dropped field (15).\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: RouterPlus +20\n\n- Claude Mythos 5.2 (20): Model reading for claude-mythos-5-2 on the Claude API. Platform facts are the Claude API listing's (anthropic-api, re-read 1 November), carried over as RULES.md allows for a model on an already graded platform. No machine payment protocol on the pricing page, read 9 November (0). Per-token prices published without a login, $8 and $40, the same as Fable 5.2 (20). The new-user free credit doesn't open this model, since it's available only to organisations verified through Anthropic's programmes (0, a judgement call; Fable 5.2 keeps the Claude API's 10). Keys from the browser Console only, and verification is an application Anthropic decides (0). 0 + 20 + 0 + 0 = 20.\n- RouterPlus (40): No machine payment protocol found in llms-full.txt. Calls draw on a prepaid balance (0). Per-token prices for every model are public in the docs catalogue and on the model pages with no login, re-read on 4 November 2026 (20). Signup adds no free credit, but inference through the caller's own provider keys carries no RouterPlus charge and needs no credit, the reading Cloudflare AI Gateway's dossier took for the same arrangement. We did not sign up to confirm that no card is asked for (20). A person signs up in the browser through Clerk with email verification, and the programmatic signup route was removed (0).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Claude Mythos 5.2 | RouterPlus | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 60 | 42 | Claude Mythos 5.2 +18 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 59 | Claude Mythos 5.2 +31 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 95 | 71 | Claude Mythos 5.2 +24 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 92 | 59 | Claude Mythos 5.2 +33 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 20 | 40 | RouterPlus +20 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 91 | 44 | Claude Mythos 5.2 +47 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 85 | 41 | Claude Mythos 5.2 +44 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -2 | |\n| **Total** | | **76.1 · BB** | **50.3 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Claude Mythos 5.2 | RouterPlus |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Model router |\n| Vendor | Anthropic | RouterPlus |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.anthropic.com/v1` | `https://api.routerplus.com/v1` |\n| Transports | | HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | API key |\n| Pricing | Pay per use | Pay per use |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Closed model, used through the Claude API and cloud platforms under Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service | Closed service.

Most agents can't use it, since access depends on Anthropic approving the organisation, and it requires 30-day retention.\n\n**RouterPlus.** The docs are written for agents, every model price is public, and each response carries its own cost. No terms of service, privacy policy, status page or changelog were found. Request content is now logged for 30 days by default while the homepage says prompts aren't stored, and signup adds no free credit.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Claude Mythos 5.2\n\n1. Confirm your organisation is verified before routing work here; otherwise use claude-fable-5-2\n2. Call https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages with model claude-mythos-5-2 and your key\n3. Steer thinking with the effort parameter (default high); don't send temperature, top_p or top_k\n4. Don't force a tool with tool_choice any or tool; describe the tool and let the model choose\n5. Thinking blocks from it are read only by Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, so keep them out of other models' context\n6. Check data retention before sending regulated data, since 30 days is required\n\n### RouterPlus\n\n1. Send `max_tokens` on every request. Without it the balance hold assumes up to 32,768 output tokens and can return `insufficient_quota` on a small balance\n2. Switch on `error_type`. Retry `rate_limit` after `retry-after`, and stop on `insufficient_quota`, which needs a person to add credit or raise a cap\n3. Don't add a retry loop on top of the SDK's. There is no idempotency key, so a retry that reaches a provider is billed again\n4. Keep secrets out of prompts. Request content is logged for up to 30 days unless the organisation has opted out through support\n5. Use `/v1/messages` for Claude when you need `thinking` or server tools. `response_format` works for GPT ids and open models, not Claude\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Claude Mythos 5.2 or RouterPlus?\n\nClaude Mythos 5.2 scores 76.1 (BB) on agent readiness against RouterPlus's 50.3 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. RouterPlus leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Claude Mythos 5.2 and RouterPlus need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Claude Mythos 5.2 and RouterPlus without installing anything?\n\nYes.
