Google: Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools (google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview-customtools)

Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools is a variant of Gemini 3.1 Pro that improves tool selection behavior by preventing overuse of a general bash tool when more efficient third-party or user-defined functions are available. This specialized preview endpoint significantly increases function calling reliability and ensures the model selects the most appropriate tool in coding agents and complex, multi-tool workflows.

It retains the core strengths of Gemini 3.1 Pro, including multimodal reasoning across text, image, video, audio, and code, a 1M-token context window, and strong software engineering performance.

NVIDIA: Llama Nemotron Embed VL 1B V2 (free) (nvidia/llama-nemotron-embed-vl-1b-v2)

The Llama Nemotron Embed VL 1B V2 embedding model is optimized for multimodal question-answering retrieval. The model can embed 'documents' in the form of image, text, or image and text combined. Documents can be retrieved given a user query in text form. The model supports images containing text, tables, charts, and infographics.

Note: For the free endpoint, all prompts and output are logged to improve the provider's model and its product and services. Please do not upload any personal, confidential, or otherwise sensitive information. This is a trial use only. Do not use for production or business-critical systems.
