Description
SummaryQwen3-VL-8B-Thinking is the reasoning-focused version of the Qwen3-VL-8B multimodal model, built for advanced visual and textual reasoning across images, documents, and video. It adds deeper vision-language fusion and deliberate reasoning paths, supports very long context (256K–1M tokens), and excels at STEM problem solving, causal analysis, and multi-step video understanding — while retaining strong OCR, multilingual capability, and high-quality text generation.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.
