 `free-coding-models` (FCM) answers that by pinging every model in parallel, showing live latency, and computing a **live Stability Score (0-100)** combining p95 latency, jitter, spike rate and uptime. Average latency alone is misleading: a model that randomly spikes to 6 seconds is not reliable.

 > 🧾 **What "free" means here:** free is a property of the *(provider, model)* pair, never of the provider as a whole. A row is listed only when that exact model id costs $0 to call through that provider (permanent free tier, `:free` variant, or free plan), verified live at audit time. The same open-weights model can be free on one host and paid on another - paid siblings are deliberately excluded. Full breakdown and badge legend: [`docs/providers.md`](./docs/providers.md).

+# Changelog v0.5.98 - 2026-10-10
+Full 25-provider audit against live provider APIs, official catalogs and deprecation notices. The catalog goes from 271 to 253 models: 46 dead or now-paid models removed, 28 fresh free coding models added, 9 metadata fixes.
+### Added
+- **Step 5 Preview lands on 4 gateways**: Kilo (`stepfun/step-5-preview-free`, S, 1M ctx), OpenCode Zen (`step-5-preview-free`), llm7 and Pollinations - the StepFun flagship preview is this week's big free-model rollout.
+- **Ling 3.1 Flash (560B-A25B MoE) replaces the retired Ling 3.0 :free slots** on OpenRouter ($0/$0), Kilo, OpenCode Zen, Requesty, Novita and Vercel AI Gateway (`ling-3.1-flash-free`).
+- **Glyph Cluster, the new free stealth coding model**, takes the stealth slot on Kilo and Vercel AI Gateway (Pixel Canary rotated out).
+- **llm7 rebuilds its free tier**: + GLM-5.3-Flash (400k ctx, turbo tier), + Kimi K2.7 Code, + Kimi K2.6, + GPT-OSS 20B, + Nemotron 3 Nano 30B (1M ctx) - the catalog grows from 4 to 8 models.
+- **Novita reshuffles around the Qwen3.8 generation**: + GLM-5.3-Flash (1M ctx), + Qwen3.8 Flash (1M ctx), + Ling 3.0 Flash, + GLM-4.7-Flash, + MiniMax M2.7.
+- **Pollinations**: + OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (S+, 1M ctx), + xAI Grok 4.7 (S, 500k ctx), + StepFun Step 5 Preview (A+, 1M ctx).
+- **onomeo**: + Gemini 3.6 Flash (S+, 1M ctx) and + Hunyuan 4 Preview (1M ctx), replacing the removed Hunyuan 3 slot.
+- **Mistral La Plateforme**: + Mistral Vibe CLI (new free coding model) and + Leanstral 1.5.1 (successor of Leanstral 1.5).
+- **Ollama Cloud**: + Mistral Large 4 (1.05T MoE, 1M ctx, ~Oct 4 release).
+- **OpenRouter**: + Apodex 1.1 Mini (`:free`, 262k ctx).
+### Changed
+- **qwen (Alibaba DashScope): 5 models retired exactly today, 2026-10-10**, as predicted by the in-file deprecation notices: qwen3.6-max-preview, qwen3-coder-plus, qwen3-coder-next, qwen3-coder-480b-a35b-instruct and qwen3-coder-30b-a3b-instruct (notices 1949/1950), plus qwen3-vl-flash. Also dropped the phantom qwen3.8-flash-next (404 detail page, never existed in the product index). 29 -> 22 models.
+- **onomeo: 16 of 33 models removed** following the provider's own removed list, and mirrored ids renamed to first-party ones (`openai/gpt-oss-20b` -> `gpt-oss-20b`, `z-ai/glm-5.3-flash-free` -> `glm-5.3-flash`, `meta/muse-glimmer-30b` -> `muse-glimmer-30b`). 5 remaining models are flagged as upstream-paused.
+- **nvidia: the 3 models re-added on 2026-09-29 are ghost catalog entries again** (page 404 + absent from the hosted list): Kimi K2.6, Nemotron Nano 3 30B, Codestral 22B removed; 16 -> 13 models.
+- **sambanova: MiniMax M2.7 and M3 went paid-only** - the official Free Tier table now covers exactly 5 models, the MiniMax pair needs a linked payment method (Developer Tier). 7 -> 5 models.
+- **kilo: hard free-tier rotation** - qwen3.8-27b:free, step-3.7:free, ling-3.0-flash-sante:free and space-bunny-alpha gone; note: paid Poolside Laguna variants retire Oct 31, the free ones may follow.
+- **openrouter**: qwen3.8-27b:free deleted from the live catalog, ling-3.0-flash-sante went paid, stealth/space-bunny-alpha rotated out.
+- **novita**: the Qwen3.5/3.6 Plus tier was killed in favor of Qwen3.8 (2 removals).
+- **ovhcloud**: Qwen3-Coder-30B is dead again (model_not_found on live probe). Warning from the audit: OVH now bills most text models per token - only a handful stay tagged Free on the catalog page.
+- **Moderation classifiers cleaned out of the coding catalog**: Nemotron 3.5 Content Safety removed from OpenRouter, Kilo and Requesty (guardrail model, not coding-capable).
+- README counts and the Top 8 provider table refreshed; `docs/providers.md` regenerated from `sources.js`.
+### Fixed
+- qwen omni context windows were wrong: qwen3.5-omni-plus 32k -> 256k, qwen3.8-omni-flash 32k -> 1M (official model pages).
+- onomeo: gpt-oss-20b and muse-glimmer-30b ctx 128k -> 131k, minimax-m2.7 ctx 200k -> 205k (live catalog).
+- kilo: openrouter/free ctx dropped (the live gateway no longer publishes a context length for the router).
+### Deliberately NOT added (audit transparency)
+15 researcher-reported additions were skipped because they reversed verdicts already recorded in `sources.js` from earlier audits, with no stronger evidence: the 6 "free again" SiliconFlow small models (API needs a paid-check key to verify), 4 Pollinations models flagged "paid Pollen" on 2026-09-26/28 (the issue #190 trap: they return HTTP 200 with an embedded credits error, and this audit did not sniff completion bodies), QwQ 32B + R1-Distill on Cloudflare (supersession decision re-confirmed 2026-09-29), the twice-removed Mistral 7B v0.3 / Nemo 12B on OVHcloud, and gemini-3.1-pro-preview on Google AI (excluded twice as paid-only). All are documented in `sources.js` comments for the next audit to re-verify with live keys.
