Overview

This is a vision-language reasoning model from Alibaba that accepts text, image, and video inputs and returns text. It supports a 1M token context window and outputs up to 8,192 tokens. The model operates in the cheap cost tier and is optimized for high-throughput workloads. On Kyma, it runs through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint with automatic request failover if a serving path degrades. Prompt caching is enabled, billing repeated prefixes at this model’s cached input rate. Responses include the exact request cost in usage.cost and the executed model ID in the X-Kyma-Model header. It does not support structured outputs, so you will need to parse JSON or enforce formatting manually. The 1M context window is large, but the 8,192 token output limit restricts long-form generation.

Specs

Pricing

Above a long prompt this model costs more per token, because the infrastructure serving it charges more there. The threshold is on the prompt, so you know which rate applies before you send.

Use this when

  • Multimodal agent orchestration — Route text, image, and video inputs to tool-calling agents that run at high volume.
  • Visual code review — Analyze screenshots, UI mockups, and video walkthroughs to generate code suggestions.
  • Document analysis at scale — Process large batches of mixed-media files within a 1M token context window.
  • High-throughput chat routing — Handle conversational workloads with fast response times and low compute overhead.

Not ideal for

Avoid this model when you require guaranteed structured JSON outputs or need to generate responses longer than 8,192 tokens.

FAQ

Does this model support function calling? Yes, it supports tool use and reasoning, allowing you to pass tool definitions and parse the model’s calls. How does prompt caching affect billing? Kyma bills cached prompt prefixes at this model’s cached input rate, reducing costs for repeated system prompts or conversation history. What happens if the serving path fails? Kyma automatically reroutes your request to an alternate serving path, ensuring high availability without manual retries.
