Particle-1
Particle's coding model post-trained from DeepSeek V4.1 Flash to cut reasoning and tool-call tokens in agentic software work.
Overview
Particle-1 is a software-engineering model from Particle, released October 28, 2026, post-trained from DeepSeek V4.1 Flash using reinforcement-learning environments Particle built. OpenRouter describes it as a token-efficient agentic coding model aimed at terminal workflows, codebase changes and data engineering, designed to use fewer reasoning and tool-call tokens while keeping accuracy near the base model. OpenRouter lists a 1.05M-token context window at $0.25 per million input tokens and $1 per million output tokens. Efficiency and task-performance claims are Particle's own; no independent benchmark of Particle-1 was found.
