Summary

x-ai/grok-4.5 is now the single curated Grok entry on the OpenRouter and Nous Portal picker lists; x-ai/grok-4.3 is removed from those snapshots only.

Follow-up to #60887. grok-4.3 is not retired upstream — it remains fully usable by typing the model name, which validates against the live aggregator catalogs (verified live on OpenRouter). No xai_retirement.py remap is warranted since xAI still serves the model. The xAI-direct curated list is models.dev-cache-driven and unaffected.

Changes

  • hermes_cli/models.py: drop x-ai/grok-4.3 from OPENROUTER_MODELS and _PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"]
  • website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated via scripts/build_model_catalog.py (manifest sync test enforces this)

Validation

Check Result
Curated lists: 4.5 present, 4.3 absent real-import assert, pass
x-ai/grok-4.3 still on live OpenRouter catalog (typed names keep working) confirmed live
test_model_catalog (manifest sync), test_model_validation, test_model_normalize, test_run_agent, test_codex_transport pass

grok-4.5 is GA and is now the single curated Grok entry on the
aggregator lists. grok-4.3 is NOT retired upstream — it remains fully
usable by typing the model name (validated against the live catalogs);
this only removes it from the short curated picker snapshots. The
xAI-direct list is models.dev-cache-driven and unaffected.
