Crouton Alpha

stealth/crouton-alpha

Crouton Alpha is a lightweight model built for scalable coding, agentic, and multimodal workflows. It's ideal for executing agentic sub-tasks, tool use, and document analysis in high-volume, repeated work. Developers can combine it with frontier reasoning models to execute the bounded steps that turn plans and information into action.

Crouton Alpha was a stealth model, revealed to be an early version of Muse EmberOpens in new tab by Meta. OpenRouter routed requests to it and was not its developer, owner, or provider.
