-ClawRouter itself is free and MIT licensed. You pay only for the LLM API calls routed through it — and several open-weight models (`nemotron-3.5-lightning`, `nemotron-3-nano-30b`, `laguna-xs-2.1`, `north-mini-code`, `nemotron-3-nano-omni-30b-a3b-reasoning`, `nemotron-3-ultra-550b`, `llama-3.2-11b-vision`) are completely free (text only). Use `/model free` to smart-route across them, or pick any by name.

 ### 2. Reasoning Has a Ceiling
 
-Five of the seven are reasoning-capable and handle most tasks well. On the hardest problems — competition-level math, formal proofs, deep multi-step planning — they don't match Claude Opus 5 or Sonnet 5. That's why ClawRouter's REASONING tier doesn't use free models.

 ### 3. There Is No Working Free Vision
 
-Two of the seven are catalogued as vision-capable, and neither survives a real probe. On a 64×64 solid-red PNG, `nemotron-3-nano-omni` answered correctly 1 time in 4 on Base and returned "white" on Solana — where the response's own `model` field revealed a silent fallback to a text model. `llama-3.2-11b-vision` replied "I'm unable to see the image" on 3 of 3 attempts while answering plain text fine. Every one of those failures is an **HTTP 200**: the image is dropped and a confident wrong answer comes back with no error to branch on.

 ClawRouter therefore ships no `vision` flag on any free model, so requests carrying an image route to a paid vision model instead. The general lesson is worth more than the specific finding: **a catalog's capability list is a claim, not a measurement** — and one passing sample is not a measurement either. The first probe here returned the right colour; it took four to see that was luck.
 
 ### 4. Free Hosting Is Volatile
 
-This is the real limitation, and it is worth more than the other two. On 2026-08-30 NVIDIA retired four of the five visible free models in one sweep, and none of the nine models this article originally listed is still in the tier. Free capacity comes from whatever a provider is willing to give away this quarter. Pin a free model if you like — but build so that losing it costs you a config line, not a rewrite. That is the entire argument for putting a router in front of them.

 **No free model carries the `vision` flag,** even the two the upstream catalogs advertise as vision-capable. A 64×64 solid-colour probe on 2026-08-31 got the right answer 1 time in 4 from `nemotron-3-nano-omni` on Base, and "white" for red on Solana — where the response's own `model` field showed a silent fallback to a text model. `llama-3.2-11b-vision`, despite the name, said "I'm unable to see the image" on 3 of 3 while a plain-text control passed. Every one of those is an HTTP 200, so the caller gets a confident wrong answer with nothing to branch on. Since `vision` is what `filterByVision()` uses to _aim_ image turns at a model, flagging them would route real traffic into that. Requests carrying an `image_url` go to a paid vision model.
