| Summary | Gemini 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. 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. | 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. | Qwen3.6 Flash is a fast and efficient model from Alibaba's Qwen 3.6 series, supporting text, image, and video inputs with a 1M-token context window for high-context multimodal workflows. Optimized for performance and cost efficiency, it features tiered pricing beyond 256K tokens and supports prompt caching with both cache creation and read pricing, making it well suited for large-scale, high-throughput applications. |
