Grok 4.20

Grok 4.20 is xAI's newest flagship model, designed for high-performance reasoning with industry-leading speed and strong agentic tool-calling capabilities. It emphasizes strict prompt adherence and low hallucination rates, delivering highly precise and reliable responses. Optimized for agent workflows and real-time applications, Grok 4.20 provides consistent, truthful outputs while maintaining fast inference and robust task execution.

Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent

Grok 4.20 Multi-Agent is a specialized variant of xAI's Grok 4.20 designed for collaborative, agent-based workflows. It enables multiple agents to operate in parallel, coordinating tool use and synthesizing information to handle complex, multi-step tasks. Optimized for deep research and large-scale problem solving, the model supports configurable reasoning effort: 4 agents for low/medium settings and up to 16 agents for high/xhigh settings, enabling scalable parallel reasoning and execution.

Enjoy it.

Qwen3.6 Plus Preview (Free)

Qwen 3.6 Plus Preview is the next-generation evolution of the Qwen Plus series, built on an advanced hybrid architecture that enhances efficiency and scalability. It delivers improved reasoning capabilities and more reliable agentic behavior compared to the 3.5 series, with benchmark performance at or above leading state-of-the-art models.

Designed as a flagship preview model, it excels in agentic coding, front-end development, and complex problem solving, making it well suited for advanced development workflows and high-performance applications.

Enjoy it.

What's New

• Public Read Access — Anyone can now browse ideas, view details, and read comments without signing in
• Write Actions Require Login — Submitting ideas, voting, and commenting still require authentication
• Privacy Preserved — Non-public ideas remain hidden from unauthenticated visitors

Why This Change

We believe in building in public. The Ideas board is where our community shapes the future of Apertis — sharing feature requests, voting on priorities, and discussing what matters most.

By making it publicly visible, potential users can see what's being built and why, existing users can share links to ideas they care about, and everyone gets a transparent view into our roadmap and decision-making process.

Great products are built together. Come see what the community is asking for — and when you're ready, sign in to add your voice.

Happy Building

Apertis is now available as an official built-in model provider in Kilo CLI and Kilo Code. Users can select Apertis directly from the provider list without any manual endpoint configuration.

What's new:

• Apertis appears as a built-in provider option in Kilo CLI and Kilo Code
• Select from 500+ AI models across 30+ providers directly in the provider menu
• No manual API base URL setup required — just choose Apertis, enter your API key, and go

How to use:

1. Open Kilo CLI or Kilo Code 2. Go to provider settings 3. Select Apertis from the provider list 4. Enter your Apertis API key 5. Choose your preferred model and start coding

We now support an apertis/ namespace prefix for all model IDs, designed specifically for Cursor IDE users who experience model ID collisions with Cursor's built-in model routing.

How It Works

When your model ID overlaps with Cursor's built-in models, simply add the apertis/ prefix to ensure requests route through Apertis:

| Standard ID | Cursor IDE ID | |-------------|---------------| | gpt-5.4 | apertis/gpt-5.4 | | claude-sonnet-4.5 | apertis/claude-sonnet-4.5 | | code:claude-sonnet-4.5 | apertis/code:claude-sonnet-4.5 | | gpt-5.4:web | apertis/gpt-5.4:web |

The apertis/ prefix is automatically stripped on our end — all downstream processing (model validation, channel routing, billing, and logging) uses the original model ID. Fully compatible with existing suffixes like :web and code: prefix and all models.

Model Detail Page

Each model's detail page now includes a Cursor IDE Model IDs section listing all available apertis/-prefixed identifiers. Click to copy, and hover the infoicon for context.
