OpenRouter Prefill/TC Support

Contact for corrections: huntsman_book495@slmail.me

Unofficial documentation on which providers OpenRouter (OR) providers support prefilling or Text Completion. There may be mistakes or outdated details as these are all manually checked.

Providers

If you know for sure prefilling a direct request to the provider works but not with OR, you may let OR know. The table below is tested on Chat Completion (CC). Listed Docs are evidence of prefill support. next to a provider means there are currently no models listed, and means the provider is no longer shown in the sidebar of the Models page; their support columns are left at their last known state.

2025-09-06: To reduce clutter, all dead entries as of this date (archive) are removed.

Text Completion (TC)

I am unaware of providers that are directly TC-only. There are CC-only providers; when you try to send prompt instead of messages to a CC-only provider through OR, presumably OR sends the prompt as a single message. There is no such thing as TC "not supporting prefill"; the entire prompt is "the prefill" unless some sequence tokens are appended before allowing the model to respond, which is effectively what happens in non-prefill CC.

Since no CC-only provider has Min-P, you can assume anything listed as supporting Min-P can do TC. Don't ask me why.

For Min-P I simply took what the OR models search page shows and did not test for it. OR might list a sampler as supported if it doesn't return an error. Listed Docs are evidence of TC, usually /v1/completions endpoint and/or prompt.

One last thing, GPT-3.5 Turbo Instruct is OpenAI's last TC model.

Kimi K2's prompt looks like this without newlines around sequences: <|im_system|>system<|im_middle|>System prompt.<|im_end|><|im_user|>user<|im_middle|>User message.<|im_end|><|im_assistant|>assistant<|im_middle|>Assistant message.<|im_end|>

Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM)

If a model is trained for FIM, FIM can technically be used through TC. Big question: Which models?

Mistral has a FIM endpoint (not through OR) that also takes prompt + suffix parameters. It totally makes sense to be set up this way to make it easier to implement. Anyway, I'm not coder myself so I am unfamiliar with whatever IDEs and FIM endpoints people are using to autocomplete code.

Inactive providers

These providers (OR API name displayed) either have not started serving / are possibly new , or are no longer serving . Chronological order may be inaccurate, but I try to list the latest deactivation toward the top.

Test prompts

When prefilling is supported and the last message of the request is of assistant role, the model should be able to consistently continue from it unless it's brain-damaged with the most stringent safetyism possible rendering it unusable in any case, e.g. IIRC, Phi-3 Mini.

*Markdown does not display leading spaces within inline code.

Model quirks

R1/V3 will appear confused in short tests at the very start of chat, generating a continuation as if it were the user, then responding to itself.
Hi. + Hello → R1 ! How can I assist you today? 😊Hello! How can I assist you today? 😊
Hello? + Who → R1 are you?\n\nHi! I'm DeepSeek-R1, an AI assistant independently developed by the Chinese company DeepSeek Inc.
Hello? + Who → V3 is this?Hello! This is an AI assistant here to help answer your questions or assist with any tasks you have.
This phenomenon occurs with all prefill-supported providers, but stabilizes after a few messages in.

Popular R1 RP prompts do not rely on prefilling, as to not interfere with its reasoning. Instead, they contain user instructions at the end and/or utilize squashing where the entire chat history becomes a single user message.

Update: V3 0324 does not get confused. I suppose the earlier releases were simply undercooked.
Hi. + Hello → V3 0324 ! How can I assist you today? 😊
Hello? + Who → V3 0324 's there? 😊 Just kidding—how can I help you today? Let me know what you're looking for, and I'll do my best!

2025-04-30: I discovered DeepSeek as OR provider and direct API support prefilling. Previously this was not the case for R1. DeepSeek has NO issues at all. Together is the worst. There was a prompt where most providers will finish the statement (main content) > output reasoning > output response following the reasoning, inside the main content with no space adjacent to the initial output.

It is very difficult to skip R1 0528's reasoning with prefill, so don't bother.
