Text, image, and video input are supported. Web search, web extractor, code interpreter, text-to-image search, and image-to-image search are optional built-in tools exposed through tool_* parameters. Web search, text-to-image search, and image-to-image search add $0.02 for each invoked call; web extractor and code interpreter run at no extra cost. Web extractor requires web search, and both web extractor and code interpreter require thinking. A single request can invoke a tool more than once, and each invoked call is billed. Thinking tokens are billed as output tokens.
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.
