•

1.05M tokens

DeepSeek V4 Pro is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 1.6T total parameters and 49B activated parameters, supporting a 1M-token context window. It is designed for advanced reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agent workflows, with strong performance across knowledge, math, and software engineering benchmarks. Built on the same architecture as DeepSeek V4 Flash, it introduces a hybrid attention system for efficient long-context processing. Reasoning efforts `high` and `xhigh` are supported; `xhigh` maps to max reasoning. It is well suited for complex workloads such as full-codebase analysis, multi-step automation, and large-scale information synthesis, where both capability and efficiency are critical.

1.05M tokens

Gemini 3 Flash Preview is a high speed, high value thinking model designed for agentic workflows, multi turn chat, and coding assistance. It delivers near Pro level reasoning and tool use performance with substantially lower latency than larger Gemini variants, making it well suited for interactive development, long running agent loops, and collaborative coding tasks. Compared to Gemini 2.5 Flash, it provides broad quality improvements across reasoning, multimodal understanding, and reliability. The model supports a 1M token context window and multimodal inputs including text, images, audio, video, and PDFs, with text output. It includes configurable reasoning via thinking levels (minimal, low, medium, high), structured output, tool use, and automatic context caching. Gemini 3 Flash Preview is optimized for users who want strong reasoning and agentic behavior without the cost or latency of full scale frontier models.
