| Caveats | Limits are OpenRouter's policy for :free variants (see afr-0010, and afr-0047 for the one-off $10 unlock); they are not restated here. End rule: when OpenRouter stops listing this slug at $0, the row is retired to a dated negative row. |
No measured example — this row is evidence: documented: it states what the provider's own page advertised on the date shown, and this worker holds no credential to call it. The provider's documentation is the source: https://openrouter.ai/google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it:free
