Wan 3.0 Video and new GPT and Claude chat models

New video model

  • wan3.0-video adds Alibaba audiovisual generation with text-to-video, first/last-frame image-to-video, up to 1080P and 30-second output, and optional synchronized audio.
  • Video pricing is billed by generated milliseconds and varies by resolution; see Video pricing for the current rates.

Chat catalog refresh

  • Added gpt-6-luna, gpt-6-sol, claude-fable-5, claude-fable-5-1, claude-opus-5, claude-opus-5-5, and claude-sonnet-5.
  • Removed gemini-2.5-pro, which is no longer returned by the current public model catalog.
  • Refreshed Chat pricing for the updated catalog.

Schema updates

  • model is now explicitly required for gemini-2.5-flash-image, seedance-2-0, and wan2.6.
  • gpt-image-2.5-flare and gpt-image-2.5-sunburst no longer document the unsupported response_format field.
Changed
GPT Image 2 adds mask-guided editing

GPT Image 2 schema update

  • gpt-image-2 now documents extends.edit.mask for local image editing; transparent mask areas are regenerated and the field is used together with images.
  • The unified image-generation endpoint continues to require model as its routing key.
New
Gemini-native video understanding and file upload documentation

Gemini video understanding

  • Added a video understanding with Gemini guide covering upload session creation, direct file upload, processing status, native generateContent, and cleanup.
  • Added API Reference pages for the Gemini-only file lifecycle and native multimodal request.
  • Gemini file URIs are not reusable across OpenAI, Anthropic, generation, or compatibility endpoints.
  • Validated the workflow end to end with gemini-3.1-flash-lite and added portable filenames, complete upload headers, gateway error details, and automatic cleanup guidance.
New
GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst and Flare are now available

New image models

  • gpt-image-2.5-sunburst — precision-focused image generation and editing with up to 16 reference images, mask-guided edits, custom dimensions, and transparent backgrounds.
  • gpt-image-2.5-flare — fast image generation and editing with the same reference-image, mask, custom-size, quality, and transparent-output controls.
  • Both models support text-to-image and image-to-image workflows through POST /v1/images/generations; cached text input starts at $0.9375 / 1M tokens.
NewChangedPricing
New Chat model and refreshed model and pricing catalogs

Catalog and pricing updates

  • Added gpt-6-astra to the Chat model catalog and pricing page.
  • gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image — starting price drops from 0.25 → 0.1875 USD / token.
  • Removed sora-2 from the video pricing table because it is no longer returned by the current public pricing source; its API Reference page remains available.
NewChanged
New Seedance variants and refreshed video and chat model schemas

New video models

  • seedance-2-0-fast — adds a low-latency Seedance option for 4–15 second multimodal video generation, with image, video, and audio references.
  • seedance-2-0-mini — adds a lightweight Seedance option for high-volume video generation and editing workflows.

Updated schemas and model catalog

  • seedance-2-5 — intelligent duration (-1) is now the default; reference inputs are exposed consistently as images, videos, and audios.
  • MiniMax-Hailuo-02 — prompt is now optional, matching image-conditioned generation workflows.
  • Added glm-5.2 and glm-5.3 to the current Chat model catalog.
  • Removed the stale gemini-3-pro-image-preview and gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview pages because these models are no longer returned by the public catalog.
NewChanged
New resource-oriented image and video REST endpoints are now the recommended integration path

Resource-oriented generation API

  • Use POST /v1/images/generations and GET /v1/images/generations/{task_id} for image generation.
  • Use POST /v1/videos/generations and GET /v1/videos/generations/{task_id} for video generation.
  • Use public GET /v1/models to discover the currently visible model catalog without a Bearer API key.
  • Existing /v1/image-generation, /v1/video-generation, and historical query routes remain supported. See Legacy API compatibility for the complete mapping.
  • Output asset URLs are dynamically signed. Avoid long-term URL caching, and do not blindly retry create requests after an uncertain timeout.

Model catalog sync

  • Added gemini-3-pro-image, gemini-3.1-flash-image, and MiniMax-H3 from the current upstream catalog.
  • Removed the stale seedance-v1.5-pro reference because it is no longer returned by the visible model source.
  • Refreshed starting prices for seedream-4.5 (0.029040 USD/image), seedream-5.0-lite (0.030305 USD/image), seedream-5.0-pro (0.045000 USD/call), and wan2.6 (0.304850 USD/call).
Changed
Seedance 2.0 adds multi-image input and updates its prompt limit

Seedance 2.0 schema update

  • seedance-2-0 — adds an images array with up to 9 reference inputs.
  • prompt now accepts up to 2,500 characters, reduced from 5,000. Update clients that validate or send longer prompts.
New
Seedance 2.5 is now available for multimodal video generation

New model

  • seedance-2-5 — ByteDance’s Seedance 2.5 supports text-to-video and image-to-video generation up to 30 seconds, synchronized audio, and image, video, or audio references through the unified video generation API. Starting from 6.08 USD / token.
Changed
Seedance 2.0 now supports longer prompts, longer durations, and higher resolutions

Seedance 2.0 parameter update

  • seedance-2-0 — prompt now accepts up to 5,000 characters.
  • duration now supports 14s and 15s generations.
  • resolution now includes 1080P and 4K options.
  • prompt is no longer marked as required, matching image-to-video and media-conditioned workflows.

Schema upgrade, chat param cleanup, docs refresh + pricing

Schema upgrade — richer model parameter docs

Model parameter schemas now come from a more structured upstream source. As a result, every image / video endpoint now ships with:
  • Enum dropdowns for size, resolution, quality — Playground renders select boxes instead of free-text inputs.
  • Default values shown next to each field (e.g. seedance-2-0.resolution defaults to 720P).
  • Conditional rules spelled out where they apply — e.g. on minimax-hailuo-02 the resolution field now documents the three rules that constrain it (duration, first_frame_image, last_frame_image).
  • Field ordering reflects how parameters are typically filled in, not alphabetical.
  • gpt-image-2 — previously missing the required model field in the schema; now present.

Chat endpoints — removed unsupported params

temperature, top_p, and top_k have been removed from both /chat/completions and /messages. Claude 4.x rejects these parameters with HTTP 400 — documenting them was misleading. The final accepted parameter sets:
  • OpenAI Chat Completions: model, messages, stream, max_tokens, stop
  • Anthropic Messages: model, messages, max_tokens, system, stream, stop_sequences

Docs site refresh

Visual overhaul to match standard dev-docs density — switched to Mintlify’s maple theme (three-column layout with persistent code panel on endpoint pages), DM Sans typography, tighter body and sidebar sizing.

Pricing updates

  • kling-v3 — starting price drops from 0.0740 → 0.0610 USD / second (~17.6% lower).
  • gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview — starting price adjusted to 0.0503 USD / call (was 0.0500). This historical preview model is no longer available.
  • gpt-image-2 — starting price now listed: 0.9375 USD / token.
  • seedance-2-0 — starting price now listed: 3.87 USD / token.
NewChanged
New HappyHorse 1.0, plus model updates

New model

  • happyhorse-1.0 — Alibaba’s HappyHorse 1.0, supporting both text-to-video and image-to-video through POST /v1/video-generation. Starting from 0.1158 USD / second.

Updated models

  • gpt-image-2 — now accepts up to 10 reference images for image-to-image.
  • seedance-2-0 — adds new audios, first_frame_image, last_frame_image, and videos inputs.
NewChanged
GPT Image 2 and Seedance 2.0 are live; API base URL is now api.linkmodel.ai

Heads up — API base URL changed

The production base URL is now https://api.linkmodel.ai/api/v1 (previously api.linkmodel.ai). Update your clients accordingly; the previous host will be retired.

New models

  • gpt-image-2 — OpenAI’s next-gen image model, now available through the unified POST /v1/image-generation endpoint.
  • seedance-2-0 — Bytedance Seedance 2.0, available through POST /v1/video-generation.

Other updates

  • Pricing — kling-v3 now bills per second of generated video instead of per call.
  • Changed — sora-2 now accepts a resolution parameter. Minor field-description refreshes on the historical gemini-3-pro-image-preview model, kling-v3, and minimax-hailuo-02.
