11 Free Models on Nous Portal Claimed, With New MISSINGNO Addition

Hermes Release Watch (@HermesWatcher), an unofficial X account covering Hermes news, posted on October 11, 2026 that Nous Portal has 11 models usable for free with no paid plan, adding that a new coding and agentic-reasoning model called MISSINGNO has joined the lineup. No Nous official announcement or documentation accompanied the post, so every free-or-availability statement here is a quoted claim from that single fan account, not an officially confirmed fact.

The post states "No paid plan required" and lists an 11-model lineup. MISSINGNO is introduced as a new coding and agentic-reasoning model designed for high token efficiency, described as "free for a limited time."

The Claimed 11-Model Free Lineup and Stated Uses

The claimed free lineup is: LongCat 2.5 Preview, Solar Mini 4, Laguna S 2.1, Ling 3.0 Flash Sante, Step 5 Preview, Laguna XS 2.1, Ling 3.1 Flash, Step 3.7 Flash, Ling 3.0 Flash Fin, LongCat 2.0, and MISSINGNO.

  • MISSINGNO: described as a model for coding and agentic reasoning, claimed to be designed for high token efficiency. The post adds that it is free for a limited time.
  • Step 5 Preview: mentioned for coding, vision, and large-context agent tasks.
  • LongCat 2.5 Preview: mentioned for coding, multimodal work, and longer agentic workflows.

The collected post text gives no specific use descriptions for the other eight names, so this article passes along only the names without inventing use cases.

Suggested Input Format When LongCat 2.0 Is Missing From the Picker

In a reply, the same author said LongCat 2.0 may not all appear in the Hermes picker, noting it sits in the broader Nous Portal catalog, and suggested this input format:

  • /model meituan/longcat-2.0:free

The author added that the :free suffix must be included to avoid switching to the paid LongCat 2.0 route. This is a quote of the author's guidance; actual behavior may vary by environment.

Conflicting Replies and Unconfirmed Terms

The same thread carries replies questioning real-world availability. One user replied, in Chinese, that most free models are rate-limited and frequently return 429, while another user dismissed MISSINGNO's coding and agentic-reasoning quality and offered the personal opinion that Step 5 Preview is probably the best free model right now.

  • No Nous official evidence in the collected bundle supports the free status, free period, or coverage.
  • The original post body was collected in truncated form, so later conditions cannot be reconstructed from the bundle alone.
  • With 429 complaints and quality criticism alongside the claims, readers should not treat this as a confirmed free benefit and should check availability at the time of use.
