Today’s AI roundup — 10 fresh HuggingFace models, 5 trending GitHub repos, and 1 limited-time free model on OpenRouter.

Daily digest of AI ecosystem signals: new model releases on OpenRouter, fresh HuggingFace uploads, trending open-source repos on GitHub, and limited-time free inference offers. Today we surface 3 new routing endpoints, 2 time-boxed free models (one expiring today), 5 trending repos, and 10 HuggingFace uploads. 🆕 New Models on OpenRouter Three endpoints appeared in OpenRouter’s catalog today. The two Gemini image variants slot into the Nano Banana family that Google has been quietly populating, and Cohere’s free code model rounds out the dev-tooling offering. ...

🍌 Google Enters Image Generation Properly: Nano Banana 2 + Pro Google has finally put a serious product surface behind its image generation line. Two new models landed on OpenRouter this cycle, both from the Nano Banana family — Google’s consumer-facing brand for what was previously hidden inside Gemini’s image APIs. google/gemini-3.1-flash-image — Nano Banana 2 — 131K context, $0.5/M input tokens. The volume tier: cheap enough for batch creative workflows, large enough to ingest a full brief plus reference images. google/gemini-3-pro-image — Nano Banana Pro — 65K context, $2/M input tokens. The quality tier: shorter context, 4× the price, but aimed at hero-asset generation where you actually need Gemini 3 Pro’s multimodal reasoning to get the prompt right on the first pass. The read-through: Google is willing to price image generation like text generation. $0.5–$2 per million tokens is roughly an order of magnitude below what dedicated image APIs (DALL·E, Midjourney API) have been charging per-image, even after accounting for the fact that image tokens bundle more pixels than text tokens bundle words. If the quality holds up at the price point — and early access reports suggest it does for the Flash tier — this is a meaningful pressure event for the entire image-gen stack, including Adobe Firefly and the recently-discussed OpenAI image line. ...
