Models & Pricing

Always confirm live#

GET /v1/models is the source of truth — it is public and requires no payment:

Routing modes#

Instead of naming a model explicitly, a request can pass mode:

If both model and mode are present in the same request, model wins.

Reasoning models#

Thinking/reasoning models generate reasoning tokens that share the max_tokens budget with the final answer.

• Use max_tokens >= 200. A limit that's too small can be fully consumed by reasoning, producing a 200 response with an empty answer.
• An empty answer is not refunded — the service was provided (the provider returned 200). Increase max_tokens and retry with a new payment.
• Prefer stream: true for long generations; non-streaming responses are capped at 4096 output tokens.
• If tool calls are used with a thinking model, reasoning_content must be echoed back on the next turn or the API returns 400.

See Payment Flow for how the exact-scheme price is computed from max_tokens.
