Description
SummaryQwen3-Max-Thinking is Alibaba's latest flagship reasoning-enhanced large language model, evolving the Qwen3-Max architecture to emphasize deep, multi-step analytical reasoning and tool collaboration. It scales the model's capacity significantly—reportedly to over 1 trillion parameters—and integrates a “Thinking Mode” where the model can expose and leverage step-by-step reasoning traces before producing final answers, enabling more reliable solutions to complex problems such as advanced mathematics, logic, and multi-stage tasks.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.
