The official model supports text, image, audio and video input, and text output. The overview specifies 512K context; the deployment example configures 524,288 tokens. The OpenRouter route separately advertises 512,000 tokens.

Use cases: general and mathematical reasoning, coding, multimodal understanding, long-context tasks, tool calling and agent workflows. For hosted API use, check the route capabilities above.

Apache-2.0 permits commercial use subject to its terms. Local compute, hosting and inference operations have separate costs. Free API access does not make local deployment free, and open weights do not guarantee permanently free hosted inference.

No verified Dots Studio monthly subscription or official hosted API price is listed. A stable successor, replacement and additional paid channels remain unverified.
