  • kimi-k3 Preferred
    Moonshot Kimi K3 — 2.8-trillion-parameter flagship for long-horizon coding, end-to-end knowledge work, and deep reasoning, with a 1M-token context window and up to 1,048,576 completion tokens (131,072 by default). Accepts text, base64-encoded images, and base64-encoded video and returns text. Thinking is always on, with reasoning effort at max by default; temperature is fixed at 1.0. Supports custom tool calling and dynamic tool loading.
  • kimi-k2.7-code Preferred
    Moonshot Kimi K2.7 Code — Kimi's dedicated coding model, which the vendor measures as improving instruction compliance and long-horizon coding over K2.6 while cutting overthinking by about 30% on average. 256K context window, 32,768 default output tokens. Accepts text, images, and video as base64 content and returns text. Thinking is mandatory and returns an error if disabled; tool_choice is limited to auto or none and reasoning_content must be carried across multi-step tool calls.
  • claude-opus-5-5
    Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 — built for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work, at a lower price than Claude Opus 5. It accepts text and image input, has a 1,000,000-token context window, and supports up to 128,000 output tokens. Adaptive thinking is always on; the effort setting controls how deeply it reasons, with medium as the default.
  • gemini-4-argon
    Google Gemini 4 Argon — text reasoning for coding and agents, with streaming and function calling. Select low, medium or high thinking; complex reasoning benefits from high. Thinking shares the output token budget. Introductory token prices apply through November 30, 2026. Explicit context caches are not supported.
  • gpt-6-astra
    OpenAI GPT-6 Astra — OpenAI's most capable model, built for the hardest end-to-end work: complex reasoning, coding, computer use, research, and document creation. It supports text and image input, a 1,050,000-token context window, up to 128,000 output tokens, and reasoning effort settings up to xhigh and max.
  • claude-fable-5-1
    Anthropic Claude Fable 5.1 — Anthropic’s latest generally available flagship for ambitious, long-running knowledge work and coding. It is built for multi-day agentic tasks, complex software engineering, deep research, document and vision reasoning, and proactive self-verification. Cache reads are priced at 2.5% of input — the lowest of its generation.
  • claude-fable-5
    Anthropic Claude Fable 5 — Anthropic’s most capable generally available model for ambitious, long-running knowledge work and coding. It is built for multi-day agentic tasks, complex software engineering, deep research, document and vision reasoning, and proactive self-verification.
  • gemini-3.7-flash
    Google Gemini 3.7 Flash — the newest Flash-tier multimodal reasoning model, priced identically to 3.6 Flash while the vendor promotion runs. Accepts text, images, video, audio and PDFs; supports thinking, function calling, code execution, search grounding and structured output. Pricing note: Google's list price for this model is promotional through December 31, 2026 — $0.75 input / $3.75 output / $0.075 cached input per 1M tokens. From January 1, 2027 the vendor's list price returns to $1.50 / $7.50 / $0.15, and our price follows it at the same parity.
