Capabilities
Listed exactly as the catalog flags them, including what this model does not support.
Vision
Natively multimodal: captioning, classification, visual Q&A, chart and screenshot understanding. Images are converted to tokens at the input rate.
Reasoning
The model thinks before answering, which markedly improves multi-step planning and reasoning for coding, math and data analysis. Thinking tokens bill at the output rate.
Streaming
Tokens arrive over SSE as they are generated; the first frame is forwarded immediately with no buffering. Claude Code, Codex and similar tools depend on this.
Web Search
Vendor-hosted live web retrieval; the model decides when to search and cites sources.
Function CallingNot supported
Connect the model to external tools and APIs: it decides when to call which function and with what arguments, your code runs it. Force or forbid calls with tool_choice.
Prompt CachingNot supported
Repeated prefixes (system prompts, long documents) hit the cache: reads cost far less than input, writes are priced by retention time.
Response SchemaNot supported
Constrain output to a JSON Schema you provide for predictable, type-safe results without parsing free text.
AudioNot supported
Audio input or speech output.
VideoNot supported
Video input understanding or video generation.
File InputNot supported
Upload PDFs and other documents directly; the model reads the whole document with native vision.
RealtimeNot supported
Bidirectional low-latency voice / text sessions over WebSocket.
SessionNot supported
Server-side multi-turn context (e.g. previous_response_id in Responses) so you need not resend history.
MediaNot supported
Image / video / music generation endpoints.
Multipart FormNot supported
multipart/form-data file-upload requests.
Binary ResponseNot supported
Endpoints that return raw audio / image bytes.
Protocols & code samples
Change the base URL to SoleAPI, keep everything else. Native protocols pass straight through; “adapted” ones are translated by the gateway.
Google GenAI SDK or any generateContent client: point the base URL at https://api.soleapi.com.
curl "https://api.soleapi.com/v1beta/models/gemini-3-pro-image:generateContent" \
-H "x-goog-api-key: $SOLEAPI_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \

List price → SoleAPI price per channel, every pricing dimension, nothing hidden.
| Item | Unit | Google list price | Official Gemini Group ×1.676% off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input (prompt) | per 1M tokens | 3.2 Credits | |
| Output (completion) | per 1M tokens | 19.2 Credits | |
| Image input | per 1M tokens | 3.2 Credits | |
| Image output (general) | per 1M tokens | 172.8 Credits | |
| Web search (general) | per 1K calls | 22.4 Credits |
“Off” is computed at 1 Credit = ¥1 and today’s rate: 1 − channel multiplier × (1 Credit in the list currency). Priority tier ×1.8: every pricing dimension is multiplied by this factor when request body field service_tier matches ^priority$; stacks with any channel.
