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.
Text, image, and video input with text output. Thinking defaults to adaptive and can be disabled. Pricing is based on input tokens including cache hits: <=512K uses the discounted standard tier, while >512K uses the high-context tier. Supports up to 1M input tokens. Set tool_web_search to true to let the model search the web; each executed search is billed, and one request can run several searches. Answers that used web search end with a Sources list unless disable_formatting is true. Structured output through response_format is not supported; ask for JSON in the prompt instead.

Yes. Both models use POST /v1/chat/completions with the same EmpirioLabs API key, so most integrations switch by changing the model value. Check the parameters table on this page first if you rely on a model-specific parameter.
Yes. Open each model in the EmpirioLabs playground and run the same prompt on both, with the parameters the API exposes.
