Just when we thought we had seen it all, a new player entered the scene: Horizon (Alpha). This mysterious AI model just dropped on OpenRouter, and the initial benchmarks are hard to ignore. It’s outperforming both GPT-4o and Claude 3 Opus. What’s even more intriguing is that it didn’t come from one of the big labs like OpenAI or Anthropic. Its origins are a bit of a puzzle, but it looks like it might be an in-house model from the OpenRouter team.
For those of us working with no-code tools like n8n, this is a game changer. We now have access to a new state-of-the-art model through an API aggregator, giving us another powerful option for our automations. This really challenges the notion that only the big players can deliver top-tier foundation models. It feels like we’re witnessing a shift in the AI landscape, and I’m excited to see where this goes.
