Release v3.8.40

v3.8.40 cycle integration → main. All test gates green (Unit/Integration/Coverage/Node-compat/Quality-Ratchet). The only red check, 'PR Test Policy', is the test-masking heuristic firing on the cumulative ~57-commit release diff (legitimate assert consolidations already reviewed per-PR — Gemini CLI removal #5246, retired GPT models #5280, provider catalog refreshes); overridden with --admin per the documented release-PR convention. CodeQL/SonarQube advisory scans non-blocking; #5278's code already passed CodeQL on main. Homologated on VPS 192.168.0.15 (v3.8.40 healthy).

## TL;DR — how much free inference does OmniRoute actually aggregate?
| Metric | Tokens / month | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| **Documented recurring grant (steady)** | **~1.54B** | Free-tier **pools** (per-model catalog), each shared pool counted **once**. The live source behind `/api/free-tier/summary` and the dashboard's Free-Tier Budget page. **Use this number.** |
| **+ first month with signup credits** | **~2.15B** | Steady + one-time signup credits (Together $25, Z.AI 20M, DeepSeek 5M, …), deduped per account. **First month only** — does not recur. |
| **+ permanently free, no published cap** | *un-quantifiable* | `siliconflow`, `glm-cn` (GLM-4-Flash), `tencent`, `baidu`, `kilo-gateway`, `opencode-zen` — real recurring access, rate/concurrency-limited, **no token cap to count**. Listed, never summed (counting them at `RPM×24/7` is the inflation we reject). |
| **+ deposit-unlock boost** | **+~24M** | A one-time **$10** OpenRouter top-up raises its free pool from 50 → 1000 req/day. Reported separately so it never inflates the steady number. |
| Theoretical ceiling (all rate limits, 24/7) | ~10B | Sum of every provider rate limit extrapolated to non-stop use. **Not a guarantee** — do not headline this. |

**Honest headline:** *OmniRoute aggregates **~1.6B documented free tokens per month** (up to ~2.1B in your first month with signup credits) across 40+ free-tier pools — plus a long tail of permanently-free, no-cap providers — and RTK + Caveman compression (1595% token savings) stretches that further.*

> **Why this dropped from the previous ~1.94B.** The 2026-06-17 refresh is an honesty correction, not a loss: `gemini` is now pool-deduped (was inflated by counting each Flash variant separately, 462M → 60M), `cloudflare-ai` corrected to its real 10k-Neurons/day (122M → 30M), `doubao` reclassified as a one-time signup credit (not recurring), and shut-down tiers removed (`github-models` closed to new signups, `chutes`/`phind`/`kluster`/`glhf` discontinued). Partly offset by `llm7` (correct 5M/day → 150M) and new free providers (Kilo, OpenCode Zen, Z.AI GLM-Flash).

- **Gemini** — `2.0 Flash` / `2.0 Flash-Lite` shut down 2026-06-01 and `2.5 Pro` left the free tier (2026-04); free tier is now **Flash-family only** (2.5/3/3.1/3.5 Flash + Gemma). The catalog now **pools** the Flash family (was inflated by counting each variant separately: 462M → 60M).
- **Corrected numbers:** `cloudflare-ai` 122M → **30M** (real 10k-Neurons/day), `doubao` reclassified as a one-time signup credit (not recurring), `llm7` 4M → **150M** (documented 5M tokens/day), `together` "-Free" endpoints discontinued → only the **$25** signup credit remains, `longcat` retired 6 legacy models → **LongCat-2.0-Preview** only.
- **New free providers discovered:** ⭐ **Kilo Code** (`kilo-gateway` — rotating "Auto Free" set: NVIDIA Nemotron 3 family, StepFun, Poolside, Nex-N2-Pro), ⭐ **OpenCode Zen** (`opencode-zen` — 6 rotating free coding models), ⭐ **Z.AI / Zhipu** (`glm-cn` — GLM-4-Flash / 4.5-Flash / 4.7-Flash permanently free + 20M signup bonus), and `arcee-ai` Trinity Large Preview.
- **New honest tiers** (see Methodology): a *permanently-free-but-uncapped* category (real recurring access, no token cap to count) and a *deposit-unlock boost* (OpenRouter $10 → +24M/mo), both surfaced **separately** so they never inflate the headline.

- Daily token cap → `monthly = daily × 30`. Only RPD documented → `RPD × ~800 output tokens × 30`. Only RPM/TPM (no daily cap) → **uncapped** (see below).
- **Permanently free, but no published token cap** (`siliconflow`, `glm-cn`, `tencent`, `baidu`, `kilo-gateway`, `opencode-zen`): these are real recurring free access, rate/concurrency-limited. We classify them `recurring-uncapped` and **never sum them** — multiplying `RPM × 24/7 × 30d` would produce a fantasy ceiling (the inflation we reject). They are listed so you know they exist.
- **Deposit-unlock boost:** a one-time small top-up that permanently raises a free quota (OpenRouter: $10 → 1000 req/day ≈ +24M/mo). Reported as a separate figure, kept out of the steady headline.
- **A note on terms.** Some providers have personal-use or proxy clauses worth a glance before you lean on them (see the [provider-terms table](#tos-attention-table)). Their access is real — we simply don't fold the **un-quantifiable** OAuth/keyless ones (e.g. `gemini-cli`, `agy`, `amazon-q` — they share quota already counted under the base provider) into the headline. None of this is legal advice; you decide.
