Thinking is enabled by default and can be disabled. Reasoning tokens are billed as output tokens. Optional Linkup web search is billed only when invoked.
Supports text, image, and video inputs with a 1M token context, function calling, JSON schema structured output, and built-in web search at $0.015 per invoked call. Thinking is always on; reasoning depth is tunable with the reasoning_effort control (max is recommended) and reasoning tokens are billed as output tokens. Temperature and other sampling settings are fixed by the model service. Multi-step function calling through the API must replay the assistant message with its reasoning_content field intact.
