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, andclaude-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
modelis now explicitly required forgemini-2.5-flash-image,seedance-2-0, andwan2.6.gpt-image-2.5-flareandgpt-image-2.5-sunburstno longer document the unsupportedresponse_formatfield.
GPT Image 2 schema update
- gpt-image-2 now documents
extends.edit.maskfor local image editing; transparent mask areas are regenerated and the field is used together withimages. - The unified image-generation endpoint continues to require
modelas its routing key.
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-liteand added portable filenames, complete upload headers, gateway error details, and automatic cleanup guidance.
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.
Catalog and pricing updates
- Added
gpt-6-astrato 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-2from the video pricing table because it is no longer returned by the current public pricing source; its API Reference page remains available.
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 asimages,videos, andaudios. - MiniMax-Hailuo-02 —
promptis now optional, matching image-conditioned generation workflows. - Added
glm-5.2andglm-5.3to the current Chat model catalog. - Removed the stale
gemini-3-pro-image-previewandgemini-3.1-flash-image-previewpages 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/generationsandGET /v1/images/generations/{task_id}for image generation. - Use
POST /v1/videos/generationsandGET /v1/videos/generations/{task_id}for video generation. - Use public
GET /v1/modelsto 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, andMiniMax-H3from the current upstream catalog. - Removed the stale
seedance-v1.5-proreference 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), andwan2.6(0.304850 USD/call).
Seedance 2.0 schema update
- seedance-2-0 — adds an
imagesarray with up to 9 reference inputs. promptnow accepts up to 2,500 characters, reduced from 5,000. Update clients that validate or send longer prompts.
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.
Seedance 2.0 parameter update
- seedance-2-0 —
promptnow accepts up to 5,000 characters. durationnow supports 14s and 15s generations.resolutionnow includes1080Pand4Koptions.promptis no longer marked as required, matching image-to-video and media-conditioned workflows.
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.resolutiondefaults to720P). - Conditional rules spelled out where they apply — e.g. on minimax-hailuo-02 the
resolutionfield 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
modelfield 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’smaple 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.
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
imagesfor image-to-image. - seedance-2-0 — adds new
audios,first_frame_image,last_frame_image, andvideosinputs.
Heads up — API base URL changed
The production base URL is nowhttps://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-generationendpoint. - 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
resolutionparameter. Minor field-description refreshes on the historicalgemini-3-pro-image-previewmodel, kling-v3, and minimax-hailuo-02.
