| 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. | Sonar Pro Search is Perplexity's most advanced agentic search system, available only via OpenRouter. It powers the Pro Search mode on Perplexity, adding autonomous multi-step research workflows instead of single-query answers. Pricing combines token costs with a per-request fee. |
