Description
SummaryGemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image served from Google Vertex AI. 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.

When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size.Sonnet 4.6 is Anthropic's most capable Sonnet-class model, delivering frontier-level performance across coding, agent workflows, and professional knowledge tasks.
