Web search ($0.015/call) is charged only when invoked. Accepts text, image, video, and audio input and returns text. Thinking is on by default and can be turned off. Sustains complex autonomous workflows with 1000+ tool calls on a 1M context.
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.
