A brand new artificial intelligence model has appeared on the AI gateway platform OpenRouter on March 11, and it is believed to be Hunter Alpha. It is being said that the same is going to be DeekSeek’s next generation system. According to a report published by Reuters, the developer has intentionally kept the identity of the model hidden. And yes, OpenRouter also mentions that the Hunter Alpha is a stealth model.
For those who don’t know, Hunter Alpha is available as a free AI model. According to official sources, it is a one trillion parameter mode, which makes it one of the most advanced AI systems currently available in the market. The same also brings a context window of up to one million tokens that lets it process and retain vast amounts of information in a single interaction.
It has been mentioned in multiple reports that the chatbot has identified itself as a Chinese AI system with knowledge updates until May 2025, which is in line with the knowledge cutoff reported for DeepSeek’s existing model. When the system was asked about its creator, it declined to offer any substantial information. In response, the system said that it only knows its name, context window length, and parameter scale.

If we go by the reports, the reasoning ability of Hunter Alpha and free access is unusual, as models with similar capabilities need significant computational resources. This points towards one thing – the same has been created by a major firm in China, which possibly could be DeepSeek.
What’s more intriguing is that the specifications of Hunter Alpha closely resemble expectations for the V4 system of DeepSeek that is in the pipeline. As of now, there is no official statement regarding the tool from DeepSeek or OpenRouter. So, the readers are suggested to take the information with a grain of salt.
