OpenAI-compatible chat completions backed by Gemini 3.6 Flash (standard tier) — a next-gen fast thinking model with a 1M-token context, image input and streaming. Set model to gemini-3.6-flash. Four tiers, selected by the model name: gemini-3.6-flash (standard, medium thinking budget), -high (most thinking, for multi-step reasoning), -low (least thinking, fastest and cheapest), -tiered (the model picks a budget per request). All four cost the same per token — a bigger thinking budget simply emits more output tokens.
📥 Context window (max input)：~1,000,000 tokens (million-token long context).

|---|---|---|---|
| model | string | Yes | Model ID, here gemini-3.6-flash. |
| messages | array | Yes | Array of messages; each has role (system/user/assistant) and content. content may be a string, or an array of {type:text} and {type:image_url} parts for image understanding (multimodal/vision). |
| stream | boolean | No | Stream the response as SSE. Default false. |
| temperature | number | No | Sampling temperature, 0–2. |
| max_tokens | integer | No | Maximum number of tokens to generate. |
