| Summary | Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image served from Google AI Studio. Billed per image at US$0.0336. 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 1K. A request for a larger size returns a 1K 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. | MiniMax-M3 is a multimodal foundation model from MiniMax, supporting text, image, and video inputs with text output and a 1M-token context window. It is designed for long-horizon agentic workflows, coding, and tool-driven task execution, enabling sustained reasoning across complex tasks. Built on MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), the model dramatically improves long-context efficiency by replacing full attention with KV-block selection, reducing compute costs at 1M-token contexts while maintaining strong performance. Trained as a native multimodal model and optimized for multi-turn, production-style collaboration, MiniMax-M3 excels at extended, multi-step workflows rather than single-turn interactions. | 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. |
