Description
SummaryQwen3.6-Max-Preview is a proprietary frontier model from Alibaba Cloud built on a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with approximately 1 trillion parameters. It is optimized for agentic coding, tool use, and long-context reasoning, supporting a 262K token context window. The model includes an integrated thinking mode that preserves reasoning across multi-turn interactions, along with support for structured outputs and function calling. Available exclusively via Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and Qwen Studio APIs, it is designed for high-performance, production-grade agent workflows.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.
