API Updates

Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash joins EvoLink's unified video API with five model IDs, output up to 4K, and natively synchronized audio.

Availability

Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash is available through EvoLink's production API. Use the five model IDs below with one EvoLink API key; the Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash model page is the source of truth for live pricing and parameters.

Five Model IDs

• gemini-omni-1.1-flash-text-to-video — generate from a prompt alone
• gemini-omni-1.1-flash-image-to-video — animate a first frame, or interpolate between a first and last frame
• gemini-omni-1.1-flash-reference-to-video — generate from up to 10 reference images and 3 reference videos
• gemini-omni-1.1-flash-video-edit — rewrite objects, style or lighting in one input video
• gemini-omni-1.1-flash-video-extend — continue one input video with matching motion and camera language

Specifications

• Duration: an integer from 3 to 10 seconds, default 3
• Resolution: 360p, 720p, 1080p, 4k, at 24fps (default 720p; Video Edit and Video Extend default to following the input clip)
• Aspect ratio: 16:9, 9:16, auto (default auto)
• Audio: speech, music and sound effects are generated natively and muxed in, always on and free; audio files are not accepted as input
• Input images (i2v): one image as the first frame, or two images as the first and last frame
• Input video: up to 10 seconds for video-edit, up to 30 seconds for video-extend
• Pricing: token-based. See the pricing section on the model page for current rates
• API workflow: submit an asynchronous task to /v1/videos/generations, then poll the task endpoint for status and the final video URL

Model Highlights

• First-and-last-frame control — send two images to image-to-video; their order assigns the roles
• Mixed reference material — reference-to-video takes reference images and reference videos together
• Video extend counts appended seconds — duration is what gets added, so a 3-second input with duration: 3 returns about 6 seconds
• Video edit keeps the input clip as-is — length, aspect ratio and resolution all carry over; set quality when you want a different resolution

GLM-5.3 and GLM-5.3 Flash are now available through the EvoLink unified API. Both can be called from Chat Completions and Anthropic Messages.

Availability

Both models can be called on the EvoLink production API. Use the same EvoLink API key with the model IDs below; live pricing and parameters are shown on the GLM-5.3 and GLM-5.3 Flash model pages.

Two model IDs

• glm-5.3 — text-only flagship, for repository-scale coding agents and long task chains
• glm-5.3-flash — natively multimodal, accepts image, video, and file input, for high-volume classification, extraction, and document understanding

Both provide a 1M-token context window and up to 131,072 output tokens, with tool calling and prompt caching.

Wan 3.0 gets a price cut on every route and every resolution, and a speed-oriented tier — Wan 3.0 Prime — joins the family.

New Wan 3.0 Pricing

Effective August 25, 2026 (UTC+8), all three Wan 3.0 model IDs bill at the rates below — 25% off. The change applies automatically; your API calls do not change.

• 480p: $0.0375 / second
• 720p (default): $0.075 / second
• 1080p: $0.15 / second

New: Wan 3.0 Prime

Wan 3.0 Prime is the speed-oriented tier of the same family, available now through the API, with three model IDs for the same core workflow types:

• wan3.0-prime-text-to-video — generate from a prompt alone
• wan3.0-prime-image-to-video — animate a first frame, optionally towards a last frame
• wan3.0-prime-reference-video — generate from reference images, videos, audio, a document, or a web page

Prime's core capabilities align with standard Wan 3.0, with significantly faster end-to-end generation. Use each route's published API schema as the source of truth and validate the request when switching model IDs; EvoLink does not publish a fixed speed multiplier or latency SLA.

Prime rates, 15% off:

• 480p: $0.0578 / second
• 720p (default): $0.119 / second
• 1080p: $0.238 / second

Wan 3.0 (Tongyi Wanxiang 3.0) is coming to EvoLink's unified video API with three model IDs and an all-in-one reference route.

Availability

Wan 3.0 is currently in closed beta. Public access has not opened yet, and we will announce it in a separate entry. The three model IDs below and the Wan 3.0 model page cover the pricing and parameters.

Three Model IDs

• wan3.0-text-to-video — generate from a prompt alone
• wan3.0-image-to-video — animate a first frame, optionally towards a last frame
• wan3.0-reference-video — generate from reference images, videos, audio, a document, or a web page

Pick the route that matches your input: a prompt alone, a first frame, or reference material. The three input types are not interchangeable across routes.

What's New Compared to Wan 2.7

• Durations up to 30 seconds, or duration: -1 to let the model choose
• A 480p tier alongside 720p and 1080p, so iteration gets cheaper
• Documents and web pages as reference material, not just images and video
• An audio track switch (generate_audio), free to toggle either way
• negative_prompt and prompt_extend are not supported — use Wan 2.7 if you depend on them

DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision (deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp) is now live — DeepSeek's native multimodal model, which reads text and images in the same request.

What it does

• Image understanding: screenshots, scanned documents, charts, and UI captures, returned as structured text
• All three protocols accept images: image_url on Chat Completions, an image content block on Messages, and input_image on Responses
• Formats: PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF, sent as a base64 data URI or a public image URL; multiple images per request are supported
• 1M context and 384K max output, same as V4 Flash

Pricing

Identical to DeepSeek V4 Flash — images are billed as input tokens with no surcharge:

• Input (cache miss): $0.441/1M tokens
• Output: $1.324/1M tokens
• Cached input: $0.015/1M tokens

Note

deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp is an upstream experimental release. Its model name and availability are subject to change, so a fallback route should be kept configured in production.

The text-only models deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro are unaffected by this release. Neither supports image input: the OpenAI-compatible endpoint returns a 400 error, while the Anthropic and Responses endpoints accept the request but replace the image with a placeholder. Requests containing images must specify deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp.

GPT Image 2 now takes a background parameter, so you can ask for a transparent PNG instead of a flat background.

What's New

• New background parameter on gpt-image-2, with two values: opaque (default) and transparent
• transparent returns an image that keeps its alpha channel
• Available through the API and in the Playground, right below Quality

Notes

• transparent is a Preview feature — results may be unstable
• Pricing is unchanged — background does not affect how a request is billed
• gpt-image-2-beta does not support this parameter
• Try GPT Image 2

Seedance 2.5 now generates 1080p video on all five models.

What's New

• 1080p output on seedance-2.5-text-to-video, seedance-2.5-image-to-video, seedance-2.5-reference-to-video, seedance-2.5-video-edit, and seedance-2.5-video-extend
• Pass quality: "1080p" in the API, or select 1080p in the Playground
• Everything else is unchanged: 4–30 second duration, all aspect ratios, synchronized audio, and MOV output

Limited-Time Pricing

Until September 17, 2026 (UTC+8), 1080p is 28% off. The discount applies automatically — no changes to your API calls.

• During the promotion, 1080p costs 1.8× the 720p per-second rate
• After September 17, it returns to 2.5×
• 480p and 720p rates are unchanged throughout

See the pricing page for the exact per-second rate for your account tier.

Notes

• Seedance 2.5 does not support 4K output
• Reference video, image, and audio inputs are unaffected by this change

Effective August 16, 2026 (UTC+8), pricing for DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Pro has been increased. The new rates apply automatically, with no changes to your API calls. The model IDs stay deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro.

New pricing

DeepSeek V4 Flash (deepseek-v4-flash):

• Input (cache miss): $0.441/1M tokens
• Output: $1.324/1M tokens
• Cached input: $0.015/1M tokens

DeepSeek V4 Pro (deepseek-v4-pro):

• Input (cache miss): $1.324/1M tokens
• Output: $3.971/1M tokens
• Cached input: $0.044/1M tokens

Both tiers keep the 1M-token context window and 384K maximum output, and remain available on /v1/chat/completions, /v1/messages, and /v1/responses. All other models and capabilities remain unchanged.

Gemini 3.7 Flash is now available on EvoLink, priced the same as Gemini 3.6 Flash.

It is the primary agentic workhorse of the Gemini 3 family, with clear gains over 3.6 in code generation and terminal execution while keeping Flash-tier throughput and cost.

Gemini 3.7 Flash

• Model ID: gemini-3.7-flash
• Context: 1,048,576 tokens; max output: 65,536 tokens
• Input: text, image, audio, video; output: text
• Capabilities: thinking, system instructions, structured output, context caching, function calling, code execution, Google Search / Maps grounding
• Pricing: input $0.675/M tokens, output $3.375/M tokens, cache hit $0.0676/M tokens (promotional rate, through December 30, 2026)
• Endpoints: both /v1/chat/completions (OpenAI-style) and the native Gemini API

Thinking levels differ from 3.6

Gemini 3.7 Flash does not support the minimal level. Available levels are low / medium / high, defaulting to medium.

When migrating from 3.6, if your code sets reasoning_effort: "none" or "minimal" (thinkingLevel: "MINIMAL" on the native API), EvoLink automatically downgrades it to low — your requests will not fail. For explicit control, set low directly.

Beyond the model ID, Google's migration checklist requires removing custom temperature, top_p, top_k, and candidate_count, replacing the numeric thinking_budget with the thinking_level string, and removing prefilled model turns.

From August 14 to December 30, 2026 (UTC+8), Gemini 3.6 Flash and Gemini 3.7 Flash are available at reduced rates. The discount applies automatically — no changes to your API calls. Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite are outside the scope of this change.

• Gemini 3.6 Flash: 50% off
• Gemini 3.7 Flash: 50% off

The reduction applies across every billing dimension (input, output, cache hit, cache write, audio input), and input is priced the same across all modalities. See each model's pricing page for current rates.

The promotion ends December 30, 2026 (UTC+8), after which both models return to their original pricing.

Seedream 5.0 Pro Layerize is now available on EvoLink at 20% below BytePlus list pricing. It takes a single flat image and splits it into editable layers.

Seedream 5.0 Pro Layerize

• Model ID: doubao-seedream-5.0-pro-layerize
• Input: exactly one png or jpeg image
• Output: one base image plus up to 16 transparent PNG layers
• Layer metadata: every layer returns its stacking order, bounding box, name and description, so you can rebuild the composition on any canvas
• Quality: auto, 1K, 1.5K, 2K
• Prompt: optional. Omit it and the model detects and splits every major element on its own; or describe the elements in plain language; or pin them down with <bbox> coordinates
• API workflow: submit an asynchronous task, then poll the task endpoint for status and the layer URLs

Every output image is priced by its own pixel count, not by the size of the base image. A 2K poster that splits into eight small text layers is billed for one high-tier image and eight low-tier ones.

The number of output images is decided by the split result and cannot be set by request parameters. If any layer fails the whole request fails — there is no partial success, and a failed request is fully refunded.

DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Flash get lower pricing and Responses API support on EvoLink, effective August 13, 2026 (UTC+8). The new rates apply automatically, with no changes to your API calls.

Keep calling deepseek-v4-pro and deepseek-v4-flash — the model IDs are unchanged. They already resolve to the general-availability releases deepseek-v4-pro-0813 and deepseek-v4-flash-0731.

New pricing

DeepSeek V4 Pro (deepseek-v4-pro):

• Input: $0.442/1M tokens
• Output: $0.883/1M tokens
• Cached input: $0.0045/1M tokens

DeepSeek V4 Flash (deepseek-v4-flash):

• Input: $0.148/1M tokens
• Output: $0.295/1M tokens
• Cached input: $0.0030/1M tokens

Responses API support

Both models now support three API endpoints. Select the endpoint that is compatible with your existing integration:

• /v1/chat/completions (OpenAI style)
• /v1/messages (Anthropic style)
• /v1/responses (OpenAI Responses)

Both tiers keep the 1M-token context window and 384K maximum output.

Grok Imagine Image 2.0 (grok-imagine-image-2.0) is now available on EvoLink. One model covers both text-to-image and image editing — the number of input images selects the mode automatically.

Highlights

• One model, two modes: send a prompt alone for generation, or add 1–3 input images to switch to editing. Reference each image in the prompt as <IMAGE_0>, <IMAGE_1>, <IMAGE_2>
• Matrix pricing from $0.03/image: quality (Low/Medium) × resolution (1K/2K), every tier 25% below the official xAI rate. Input images are billed once per request
• Batch output: generate 1–10 images in a single request; the output rate scales by n
• 13 aspect ratios plus auto, from square to 20:9 ultra-wide
• Try Grok Imagine Image 2.0

Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.5 are now available on EvoLink through both Chat Completions and Responses. The request model IDs are grok-4.6 and grok-4.5.

Model

• 500,000-token context window with configurable reasoning effort — Grok 4.6 adds an xhigh tier on top of low, medium, and high
• Text and image input, text output
• Works on /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses with the OpenAI SDK — change the base URL and model name only
• Cached input is billed at a separate, lower rate
• Reasoning tokens are included in output tokens and billed at the output rate

Pricing

Rates are 15% below xAI list pricing. Input and output are identical across both generations:

• Input: $1.70 / 1M tokens
• Output: $5.10 / 1M tokens
• Cached input: $0.425 / 1M tokens on Grok 4.6, $0.256 / 1M tokens on Grok 4.5

The cached tier differs because xAI lists a higher official cached-input rate for Grok 4.6 ($0.50 vs $0.30 per 1M tokens).

Requests whose prompt reaches 200,000 tokens enter the long-context tier, where input, cached input, and output are all billed at 2× — the same threshold and multiplier xAI applies.

Responses Server-Side Tools

On /v1/responses, both models can run xAI server-side tools at the same rates. Only successful server-side calls are charged — ordinary client function calls and failed attempts carry no tool fee, and tool fees are never multiplied by the long-context tier.

• Web search, X search, Code execution: $0.005 per call
• Attachment search: $0.01 per call
• Collections search: $0.0025 per call

Seedance 2.5 adds two dedicated models and finer output control.

New Models

• seedance-2.5-video-edit: Edit an uploaded video with a prompt — remove, replace, or restyle elements. Output length and aspect ratio follow the input video (duration locked to auto)
• seedance-2.5-video-extend: Extend an uploaded video forward or backward with continuous motion. 4–30 seconds or auto duration

Improvements

• Auto duration: pass duration: -1 (or pick Auto in the Playground) on any Seedance 2.5 model — the model chooses the best length and you are billed by the actual output
• MOV output: output_format: "mov" (H.264 + yuv444p + PCM) for higher color fidelity in editing workflows, at no extra charge
• Try Seedance 2.5

Seedance 2.5 is now available on EvoLink with 3 video generation models supporting text, image, video, and audio reference inputs.

Standard Models

• seedance-2.5-text-to-video: Text-to-video with optional web search for real-time content. 480p/720p, 4–30 seconds, synchronized audio
• seedance-2.5-image-to-video: 1 image = first-frame generation, 2 images = first + last frame generation. Same resolution and duration range
• seedance-2.5-reference-to-video: Multimodal references — images (0–30), videos (0–10), audio (0–10), up to 50 items combined. Supports new generation, video editing, and video extension

What's New vs Seedance 2.0

• Duration doubled: 4–30 seconds in a single pass, up from 4–15 seconds
• Far more references: 50 multimodal items in one request, up from 15
• Audio-only references: reference-to-video accepts audio without any image or video input

MiniMax H3 now defaults to 768p output and gets a 5% price cut across every tier and user group.

Pricing — 5% off, effective August 5, 2026

• 768p: $0.076 per output second, was $0.080
• 2K: $0.1235 per output second, was $0.130
• Minimum charge: $0.304 per task, was $0.320 (the cheapest valid request is still 768p x 4s)
• Input image surcharge: $0.038 per image, was $0.040 (the first 5 images of a request remain included)
• The cut applies to all three H3 models (text-, image- and reference-to-video) and all user groups. Group-specific rates keep their usual relative discounts

New default resolution: 768p

• Requests that omit quality now generate at 768p ($0.076 per output second) instead of 2K ($0.1235) — about 38% cheaper
• Action required if you rely on 2K: send "quality": "2k" explicitly. Existing calls that never set quality will get cheaper, lower-resolution output
• Both tiers stay fully available on all three models — this changes the default, not the options
