Step 3.5 Flash
stepfun-ai/step-3.5-flashStepFun's most capable open-source reasoning model with visible reasoning traces. Built on a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 196B total parameters and only 11B active per token, it achieves frontier-level performance in math, logic, and agentic coding while reaching up to 350 tokens/sec. Supports 256K context. NOTE: This model runs via StepFun, which may log and train on your prompts.
Step 3.7 Flash Thinking
stepfun/step-3.7-flash:thinkingStep 3.7 Flash Thinking is StepFun's high-efficiency multimodal MoE model with visible reasoning enabled for deeper agentic coding, long-context reasoning, tool use, and native image/video understanding. ⚠️ Note: This model routes through StepFun, so privacy and logging guarantees may be limited.
GLM 5.3 Flash TEE
TEE/glm-5.3-flashGLM-5.3 Flash is Z.AI's natively multimodal 320B MoE reasoning model with 18B active parameters, served by Phala inside a Trusted Execution Environment with Redpill attestation and signed completion receipts.
Qwen3.8 Flash
alibaba/qwen3.8-flashQwen3.8 Flash is Alibaba's latest fast multimodal model, with a million-token context window for coding, agentic workflows, visual understanding, long documents, codebases, and videos.
GLM 5.3 Flash
z-ai/glm-5.3-flashox-alpha out of stealth! GLM-5.3 Flash is Z.ai's first natively multimodal GLM-5 model, with 320B total parameters and just 18B active parameters for efficient coding, agentic work, and precise 1M-token context. Its hybrid sparse-and-linear attention architecture helps it outperform GLM-5.2 at one-tenth the price while approaching Claude Opus 4.8 on coding and agentic benchmarks.
DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision Exp
deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-vision-expAn experimental vision-enabled DeepSeek V4 Flash model that adds image understanding while retaining the text, reasoning, coding, tool-calling, and agent capabilities of the base model. This route is served directly by DeepSeek, so privacy and logging guarantees are limited.
