Common Questions

Frequently asked

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is token-based: $2.40 per million input tokens and $16.00 per million output tokens. The minimum charge per call is $0.00045. Actual cost is deducted after each call based on token counts returned by the model.

How do I upload a file?

Pass a file_url in the request body to upload document files like PDFs or Word docs. They will be parsed and analyzed by the model.

What is the reasoning effort option?

You can control the depth of reasoning by passing a reasoning_effort value of 'low', 'medium', or 'high'. The default value is 'low'.
