DeepSeek V3.2
Extremely competitive coding and reasoning benchmarks at a fraction of commercial-API pricing — strong default for cost-sensitive batch workloads.
Open-weight hosting means latency and uptime vary by inference provider (DeepInfra, Fireworks, etc.) — pin a provider or add fallbacks for production SLAs.
Gemini 3.5 Flash
Fast, cheap multi-modal model with the same 1M-token context as the Pro tier — good for high-volume document Q&A and image/audio triage.
Reasoning quality trails the Pro tier on complex, multi-step tasks; best used where speed and context size matter more than depth.
