Key Info
OpenRouter announced a bug fix for its stealth model Crouton Alpha, which previously could halt early mid-task, usually just before a tool call. Agents are now expected to run tasks all the way through.
Highlights
- The bug caused agents to stop prematurely, typically right before invoking a tool.
- The fix means agent runs should now complete end to end.
- Crouton Alpha remains free to use with a 1M token context window.
- It accepts text, image, audio, and video input, and data is not used for training.
- OpenRouter invites users to retry the model and share feedback.
