Supports text and image inputs with a 1M token context, function calling, and JSON schema structured output. Linkup web search is available through web_search_linkup and adds $0.013 per call when invoked. Thinking is on by default: set its depth with reasoning_effort (max is the default), or turn it off with enable_thinking, which lowers output quality. Reasoning tokens are billed as output tokens. Stop strings apply to reasoning as well as the answer, so a stop string that appears in the reasoning ends the reply early. Temperature and other sampling settings are fixed by the model service.
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.
Kimi K3.1 Pro serves the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1 with your EmpirioLabs API key and use the model id kimi-k3-1-pro. Both models are called through the same endpoint. Set model to kimi-k3-1-pro or deepseek-v4-pro-0813. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.

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.
