Why the edge:
- Maintenance & community, Tencent Cloud TokenHub +22: Glimpse 51 (Model reading. Announced on 16 October 2026 and listed on OpenRouter on 17 October (30). One release, no history of versions or retirements, no deprecation notice period, and Elorian's terms let it modify or discontinue the Service without notice (3 of 20). Elorian's support page says there is no support queue, the terms say there is no obligation to support, and channels are email and a Discord server, not tested (6 of 25). No official SDK from Elorian. OpenRouter's SDKs are current (8 of 15). No package or CI of Elorian's to read. OpenRouter's SDK repositories run CI (4 of 10). 51.); Tencent Cloud TokenHub 73 (Closed service, read on the model lines. The newest release note is dated 24 October 2026 and the price page was updated on 31 October (30). The four retirement notices read gave 21 to 33 days, and eligible callers are switched to a successor at its price. No minimum notice period is written, and DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (directly supplied) was moved to the 1017 version under the same ids on 17 October 2026 in a notice dated two days later (7 of 12). 18 retirement notices from 21 April to 22 October 2026, 12 of them since 3 August (3 of 8). Dated release notes and announcements, ticket and phone support around the clock and a Q&A community (13 of 15). Replies on the THCLI repository were not sampled (3 of 10). Tencent Cloud SDK 3.0 in several languages covers the control plane and `tencent-tokenhub-cli` 1.0.2 was published on 30 October 2026. No inference SDK of its own (12 of 15). The CLI has four releases since 15 September 2026, lists no runtime dependencies and needs Node.js 18 or later. CI not checked (5 of 10).)
- Agent ergonomics, Tencent Cloud TokenHub +17: Glimpse 66 (Model reading of the checklist (tool use, structured output, caching, context, batch, SDKs, errors). Function tools with `tool_choice` none, auto or required, but not a named function, and the multimodal tools and subagents the launch post describes are not exposed (`native_tools` is empty) (12 of 20). `response_format` and `structured_outputs` are listed, with enforcement depending on Together's deployment and no Elorian documentation (10 of 15). Implicit prompt caching at $0.06 per million cached input tokens, a tenth of the input price, with OpenRouter's sticky routing (12 of 15). 262,144-token context with up to 256,000 output tokens (12 of 15). No batch endpoint for this model, since its only endpoint has no `:batch` variant (0 of 10). OpenRouter's SDKs in TypeScript, Python and Go, and any OpenAI client works (10 of 10). OpenRouter's documented error codes with `limit_source` and remedy hints, nothing specific to video or image limits (10 of 15). 66.); Tencent Cloud TokenHub 83 (Router, read on the model lines. Function calling is marked on most chat models in the model list, with behaviour depending on the model routed (14 of 20). Structured output is marked per model and missing on the MiniMax and Qwen models, and an unsupported `response_format` returns code 400006 (12 of 15). Cache-hit prices are published per model, Kimi K3.1 Pro lists five-minute and one-hour cache writes, and a guide covers `prompt_cache_key` and the `X-Session-ID` header for instance affinity (14 of 15). Most listed chat models have contexts of one million tokens, a judgement call since a router has no default model (15). Batch at half price covers only Hy3 and Hy4 preview, reads and writes JSONL in the customer's own COS bucket and is documented for the Guangzhou endpoint (5 of 10). No TokenHub inference SDK. The OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs work with a changed base URL, and Tencent Cloud SDK 3.0 and the `thcli` CLI cover the control plane (8 of 10). Errors return a code, English and Chinese messages, the source, the upstream code and status and a request ID, and stream errors arrive as SSE error frames (15 of 15).)
- Transparency & trust, Tencent Cloud TokenHub +16: Glimpse 38 (Closed model under clear terms (California law, arbitration with an opt-out, liability caps), with weights not released and the open-weight base model unnamed (13 of 30). The privacy policy and terms agree that Elorian trains on submitted content, but disagree on who may opt out (anyone by privacy@elorian.ai in the policy, paid users by contact@elorian.ai in the terms), say only that 'different terms may apply' to API use, and give no retention periods. The published privacy and acceptable use pages carry a leftover drafting comment from a terms outline, and the acceptable use page is titled Privacy Policy (10 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices, and the terms allow discontinuation without notice (0 of 20). Services hosted in the United States and subprocessors named by category only. On this route, OpenRouter names Together as the provider and shows its data policy (8 of 20). 31.); Tencent Cloud TokenHub 54 (Closed service under the TokenHub Terms of Service (effective 14 September 2026), the SLA (23 April 2026), a special note on third-party deployed models and the Tencent Cloud Service Agreement, naming Tencent Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co., Ltd. The CLI is Apache-2.0 (18 of 30). The terms and the FAQ agree that inputs are processed on the customer's instructions and not used for training, and clause 2.14 limits retention to what the service needs without periods. The TokenHub privacy policy on privacy.qq.com renders only with JavaScript and was not read (15 of 30). Dated retirement notices, shutdown dates in the model list, a `pre-offline` status in `/v1/models` and a `DiscontinuedAt` field in the control API. Clause 6.3 refunds paid, unused tokens when a third-party model is removed. No minimum notice period is written (13 of 20). Clause 2.13 places processing generally in mainland China for the China site and in Singapore for the international site, and the third-party model list names DeepSeek's Hangzhou company with a link to its terms. No subprocessor list was found (13 of 20).)
- Security & auth, Tencent Cloud TokenHub +15: Glimpse 56 (Model reading. OpenRouter bearer keys with per-key credit limits, management keys and OAuth PKCE, no permission scopes (25 of 30). Training on API data on this route is off according to OpenRouter's policy display for Together (no training, no prompt retention). Elorian's terms licence all User Content for training, with an email opt-out for paid users, and its privacy policy trains on free use by default. Whether Elorian receives prompts from the Together deployment was not established (8 of 20). OpenRouter's zero-retention filter and Together's no-retention flag, against Elorian's retention 'for as long as reasonably necessary' with no period (8 of 15). OpenRouter's per-generation activity records for the operator (10 of 15). OpenRouter's security.txt was valid at its last check. Elorian has no security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (5 of 20). 56.); Tencent Cloud TokenHub 71 (Router, read on the model lines. Bearer keys can be limited to chosen models and inference services, up to 200 source IP ranges and daily, monthly or total token quotas, can be disabled or deleted, and can be created in code through CreateApiKey with signed Tencent Cloud credentials. Keys are long-lived with no expiry setting or built-in rotation (26 of 30). Clause 2.17 of the terms says inputs are not used to train Tencent Cloud's own models, and the FAQ says data is not used for training. Inputs to third-party deployed models (DeepSeek's directly supplied ones) go to DeepSeek under its terms (14 of 20). Clause 2.14 keeps data only as long as the service needs, with no periods stated. When a customer asks for generated content without AI labels, Tencent Cloud keeps logs of who received it for at least six months. No zero-retention option was found (7 of 15). Per-call audit logs (request ID, key, client IP, status, tokens, latency) and optional full call logs go to the customer's CLS, billed separately, with usage by key and a monitoring dashboard (14 of 15). No security.txt on cloud.tencent.com, www.tencent.com or tokenhub.tencentmaas.com (404). Tencent's bug bounty through TSRC lists Tencent Cloud in scope. No certification for TokenHub was checked (10 of 20).)
- Schema & documentation, Tencent Cloud TokenHub +13: Glimpse 60 (Model reading. Elorian publishes no API reference, model card or llms.txt in public. Its console docs need a sign-in. The contract an agent has is OpenRouter's generic OpenAPI-documented chat endpoint plus the model API's list of supported parameters, which is not specific to Glimpse (20 of 25). OpenRouter's llms.txt and Markdown docs, including video input (10). The launch post and OpenRouter's description name the jobs (visual search, video captioning, dense counting, robotics planning) and the post states limits (token cost, no action outputs yet), but nothing says when not to use it or how video is sampled (6 of 20). Typed parameters on OpenRouter, with `tool_choice` limited to none, auto and required, and no documented reasoning effort levels for this model (10 of 15). OpenRouter's examples and error reference, with no Glimpse-specific examples or limits on video length or image count (7 of 15). OpenRouter's dated changelog and a dated canonical slug, `glimpse-20261016`, but no changelog from Elorian (7 of 15). 60.); Tencent Cloud TokenHub 73 (Router, scored on the API lines. No OpenAPI file for the inference routes. Field pages document the OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses and Anthropic Messages formats as TokenHub implements them, and the control plane is a Tencent Cloud API 3.0 service (version 2026-03-22) with typed parameters, API Explorer and SDKs (12 of 25). An llms.txt at cloud.tencent.com/document/product/1823/llms.txt links a Markdown copy of each docs page (10). The docs say which models support thinking, tools, structured output and caching, how TokenHub departs from each standard protocol, and which DeepSeek model suits which job. The quickstart's examples still use `deepseek-v3`, which is not in the model list, and Qwen3.5 stays in the list with a past shutdown date (13 of 20). Protocol pages list each field with type, required flag and default, and control-plane parameters carry enums and required flags (10 of 15). Examples in curl, Python, Node.js, Java and Go, and an error page listing 30 codes with HTTP status, cause and fix (14 of 15). Paths carry `/v1`, release notes are dated monthly from 7 April to 24 October 2026, and the control-plane API has a dated history of 26 releases to 18 September 2026 (14 of 15).)
- Payments & pricing, Tencent Cloud TokenHub +10: Glimpse 25 (No machine payment protocol on OpenRouter or from Elorian (0). Per-token prices published without a login on OpenRouter and in Elorian's launch post (20). Glimpse has no free variant on OpenRouter. Elorian's post says it can be tried free on Elorian's platform, which needs a sign-in, and whether a card is needed was not established (5 of 20). A person signs up in a browser on either route, and OpenRouter's programmatic keys come only after that (0). 25.); Tencent Cloud TokenHub 35 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-token prices for every model are public in CNY for Guangzhou and Singapore, with DeepSeek's peak and off-peak rates (20). Each account gets 1M free tokens per language model, valid for a year, in a campaign running to 31 December 2026. No card is mentioned, but the account needs real-name verification, so this line takes 15 of 20. A person signs up and completes real-name verification in a browser. Keys can then be created in code or by `thcli auth login`, but only from that account (0).)
