| Summary | Gemini 3.1 Flash Image served from Google Vertex AI. Billed per image at US$0.067. Call it through /v1/chat/completions with stream set to false; the image is returned in the message content as a base64 data URI. Maximum output resolution is 2K. A request for a larger size, such as 4K or 4096x4096, returns a 2K image with the same aspect ratio at the same price. When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size, for example 4096x4096->2048x2048. | Gemini 4 Argon is Google's flagship reasoning model, built for complex software engineering, deep mathematical and scientific problem solving, and autonomous multi-step agents. Google trained it to keep context across long, multi-step tasks and to turn long documents mixing text, tables, charts and images into a single grounded output. It leads the Vals Index across finance, legal, coding and tax work, and supports long decode of up to 1M output tokens in a single response. | NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 30B total parameters and 3B active per token, optimized for high-throughput agentic workloads and efficient inference. Its lightweight active compute and open design make it well suited for specialized agents, domain-specific customization, and scalable production deployments where speed, cost efficiency, and adaptability are key. |
