Which Models Should You Try First?

If you’re not sure where to start, the OpenRouter Roleplay leaderboard is a useful reference. As of April 2026, the most-used models by Janitor AI users on Openrouter are largely dominated by a handful of open-source models. SiliconFlow supports all of them ranked within the Top 10, including DeepSeek V3.2, Step 3.5 Flash, DeepSeek V3 0324, GLM 4.5 Air, DeepSeek V3.1, GLM 5, DeepSeek R1 0528, and DeepSeek V3.2 Exp. While the leaderboard highlights which models are most widely used, it doesn’t fully explain why they perform well in roleplay scenarios. To better understand their strengths, the following sections summarize roleplay-related capabilities for DeepSeek models and the GLM model series.
