MagmaRouter vs Shannon AI
Shannon AI is the cheapest place we found to call an uncensored Kimi K3, and it runs on its own GPUs. Two things are worth knowing: the K3 is heavily compressed, which Shannon’s own docs say costs accuracy, and "uncensored" there means no filter in front of the model rather than refusal removed from the weights.
Facts checked October 2026 against Shannon AI’s own site, docs and policies.
| MagmaRouter | Shannon AI | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Hosted gateway for one uncensored, tool capable model line (Xploded). | Uncensored chat and API gateway with 21 open-weight models served from its own GPUs, aimed at red team and security work. |
| Pricing | Pay as you go, $5 minimum top-up, no subscription required. | Token quota valued at $5 per million quota tokens. Kimi K3 3BIT-REAP is $3.83 in / $19.12 out per million, cached input at 25%. |
| OpenAI-compatible | Yes | Yes, /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses |
| Anthropic-compatible | Yes, /v1/messages (verified with Claude Code) | Yes, /v1/messages |
| Uncensored / abliterated | Five uncensored models, the Xploded line: GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, MiMo V2.6 Flash and Qwen3.8 27B. Every one calls tools. | Kimi K3 3BIT-REAP, DeepSeek V4, MiniMax, Nemotron and more, served with no input gate and no output classifier. It does not claim abliteration, so trained-in refusals may remain. |
| Prompt retention | No prompt or completion stored; model, tokens and cost kept 90 days; signed prompt-hash receipt | Data kept as long as the account is active or as needed; log data collected; no API-specific retention period stated |
| Per-key spend caps | Lifetime and monthly per-key caps, enforced by reserving the worst case and clamping max_tokens | Not documented |
Where Shannon AI is the better choice
- Kimi K3, which MagmaRouter does not serve, with 262K context.
- Its own GPUs, Tor and I2P endpoints, and a broader catalogue of 21 models.
- An unusually frank model card about what compression costs.
Where MagmaRouter is different
- Shannon’s K3 is 3-bit quantized and expert pruned (REAP, about 5.6TB down to 1.05TB); its docs say compression costs accuracy, mostly in long-tail facts and hard maths.
- No filter in front of stock weights is not the same as abliteration. A model can still refuse on its own training. Xploded models have refusal taken out of the weights: MiMo by abliteration, the GLM and Qwen models by retraining.
- MagmaRouter states its metadata window and enforces hard per-key caps. Shannon documents neither.
The uncensored models MagmaRouter sells
If you are comparing Shannon AI because you want an uncensored or abliterated model API, these are the models on MagmaRouter: GLM 5.3 uncensored, GLM 5.3 Flash uncensored, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash uncensored, MiMo V2.6 Flash abliterated, Qwen3.8 27B uncensored and Qwen3.8 27B Fast uncensored. Every one calls tools, works in Claude Code through the Anthropic endpoint, and is priced per million tokens as listed on its model page.

FAQ
Which uncensored models does MagmaRouter sell?
MagmaRouter sells GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Xploded, MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Fast Xploded. The table above has the price and context for each.
Are these models abliterated or uncensored?
MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded is abliterated: the refusal direction was removed from the weights. GLM 5.3 Xploded, GLM 5.3 Flash Xploded, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Xploded, Qwen3.8 27B Fast Xploded are uncensored: the refusal was trained back out. The abliterated vs uncensored page explains the difference.
Which one answers fastest?
MiMo V2.6 Flash Xploded usually starts answering in one to two seconds. The GLM 5.3 Flash model thinks before it answers, so its first word can take much longer.
