Nova Lite 1.0

Auto-synced from OpenRouter — no editorial write-up yet.

Claude Haiku 4.5

Very low latency for high-volume, simple tasks — classification, short summaries, and lightweight chat where response time matters more than depth.

Noticeably weaker on multi-step reasoning and long-context synthesis; pairing with a larger model for escalation is common.
