| Description | |||
| Summary | Qwen3.8 Max is the flagship model in Alibaba's Qwen3.8 series and the general-availability successor to Qwen3.8 Max Preview. It is a multimodal reasoning model designed for complex tasks across reasoning, visual understanding, coding, and agentic workflows. As the production-ready top tier of the Qwen3.8 family, it is well suited for advanced problem solving, multimodal analysis, software engineering, and long-running tool-driven applications. | 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. | Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image served from Google AI Studio. 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. |
