frontier-models

frontier-models is a skill for Claude Code from SunflowersLwtech/sunkit. It costs 181 tokens per session (1,490 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to the other AI models and task-running clients available through this machine. It explains the Magpie gateway, its model groups, and several separate task runners.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding available models, changing a gateway session's model, and delegating tasks to other AI clients.
Why use it?
It helps you choose and switch between models or clients instead of guessing which one is available. It also documents how to send work to them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

frontier-models scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Frontier models and harnesses

Plain claude talks to Anthropic on this machine's Claude seat. Everything else goes through one of two doors.

1. The magpie gateway: other models inside Claude Code

claude-gw starts a Claude Code session on the gateway (llm-gateway, http://100.116.218.86:3425; this machine's key is in ~/.claude/magpie-settings.json). The /model picker in a claude-gw session lists the frontier rows below; /model <id> takes any id harness-run models prints.

Routing groups (magpie routing=order, stays=session: one member per session for the prompt cache, the next member when it fails or runs out):

id chain
claude-opus-5-5 (Opus row, claude-gw's default) Opus 5.5 on the three Claude Team seats → Kiro Opus 5.5 → claude-sonnet-5-5
claude-sonnet-5-5 Sonnet 5.5 on the seats → Zed Sonnet 5.5 → Kiro Sonnet 5.5 → frontier
claude-haiku-5-5 Haiku 5.5 on the seats → Zed Haiku 5.5 → Kiro Haiku 5.5 → DeepSeek V4.1 Flash → GLM-5.3 Flash → Go Haiku
claude-fable-5-1 claude-opus-5-5 (no Fable on the gateway)
frontier GPT-6.1 Sol (Zed) → Grok 4.7 → GPT-6 Sol → GPT-6.1 Sol (Trae) → Kimi K3.1 Pro → GLM-5.3 → DeepSeek V4 Pro → Qwen3.8 Max → MiniMax M3 → Doubao Seed 2.1 Pro → the OpenCode Go copies
auto/<model> (magpie finds these) one model on whichever subscription renews soonest and has quota, e.g. auto/gpt-6.1-sol, auto/glm-5.3, auto/kimi-k3.1-pro, auto/deepseek-v4-pro, auto/qwen3.8-max

Subscriptions behind it: Kiro Student (1000 credits a month), Zed Student, Grok (SuperGrok), WorkBuddy free, Trae CN and Trae Global, OpenCode Go, Copilot Student (only copilot/auto; named models are refused on the Student plan). The Claude seats are served by magpie's subscription bridge (a Claude Code process on the server per conversation), each capped at 95% of its five hours. A session stays on one seat; when that seat is used up it moves to the next seat, and the move retells the whole conversation to a new process once, which costs a full cache write (up to 835K tokens for a long session; on the first night one seat's five hours went in under 40 minutes this way). So the gateway keeps conversations of about 200K tokens or more off the seats: they go to the same chain without the seats (long-opus, long-sonnet, long-haiku), and wait there when it is all out of allowance. Never point an already-running session at the gateway, and prefer a new claude-gw session to resuming a long one.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

frontier-models is a skill published in the GitHub repository SunflowersLwtech/sunkit (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 181 tokens to every session and 1,490 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-25.
