It also has 1 free ($0) channel; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
The context window is 262,144 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 256,000 to 262,144, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text and Image.
