/v1 API. Language models are pay-per-token; image and video are flat per-call or pay-per-second depending on SKU; audio is per-character (TTS), per-minute (transcription / understand), or flat per call (music, voice clone, voice design). Live catalog: GET /v1/models (model metadata) and GET /v1/pricing (full pricing — text + image + video + audio in one round-trip).
How to choose quickly
- Start with
qwen-3.6-plusif you want the best default for general work, coding, and reasoning. - Step up to
qwen-3.7-maxwhen you want the highest-quality Qwen for hard reasoning and multilingual work and cost is secondary. - Use
grok-4.3for frontier-quality general work and agentic coding at a balanced price. - Use
gemini-3.5-flashwhen you need 1M context with multimodal input (image, audio, video) and fast responses. - Use
kimi-k2.6for tool-heavy agents, long coding sessions, and image-aware workflows. - Use
deepseek-v4-profor top reasoning and complex coding with 1M context. - Use
deepseek-v4-flashwhen you want V4-family quality at the cheapest price. - Use
gemini-2.5-flashwhen you need 1M context or cheap long-context throughput. - Use
qwen-3-32bwhen latency matters and you still want strong coding quality. - Use
glm-5.1when you need a long-running coding agent for repo-scale engineering work. - Use
sonarwhen the answer needs live web data with citations — current events, prices, releases (sonar-profor deeper research).
Filter the catalog
The liveGET /v1/models endpoint now supports capability filters so agents can select models programmatically instead of hardcoding a shortlist.
Recommended Models
Qwen 3.6 Plus
#1 most popular. Closed-weight, highest quality overall. 131K context.

Web Search
Live, web-grounded models that search the web on every request and return cited answers. They bill a small flat web-search fee on top of token cost — see Pricing → Web search. No tool-calling support: the search runs internally, you just ask a question. Aliassearch → sonar.
Image Generation
Async endpoint atPOST /v1/images/generations — pay per image, no token billing. See the Image Generation guide for prompting tips and full examples.
Video Generation
Async endpoint atPOST /v1/videos/generations — pay per second of generated footage. See the Video Generation guide for prompting tips and the full per-SKU breakdown.
For the live canonical list, use
GET /v1/models. Disabled models are intentionally omitted from this page.Models are updated regularly. Use
