Latest update (11-11 10:42): Cloudflare's Clairic model now available on OpenRouter

Overview: OpenRouter launches the Extractions API in alpha, letting users name the fields they need, such as totals, dates, and contacts, and pull them from text, images, and PDFs as structured data. The OpenRouter Blog says the launch includes three models from Cloudflare, Inception, and ScaleDown, with output free on all three at the catalog prices from November 6, 2026, and current prices on the model pages. Clairic, Cloudflare's model, returns spans, p_null, and confidence for single values, while Extract returns a confidence per value and no p_null.
