Choosing a model

Pick by task type, context window and price.

Last updated

Start with the task type

The Models page groups by chat, image, video and embeddings. Calling the wrong endpoint for a model type is rejected outright — e.g. a chat model on an image endpoint.

Then the context window

Each model page lists its context window and max output. For long documents, mind the ceiling: exceeding it gets truncated upstream or errors.

Then price

Prices vary widely within the same capability tier. For structured work like classification or extraction, a small model is often enough and an order of magnitude cheaper.
