Aion 3.5 Mini is a language model developed by Zhipu AI. It's particularly well-suited for tackling complex, multi-step reasoning problems, orchestrating tool-using agents that call APIs and external services, grounding responses in real-time web search results, producing structured outputs for reliable data extraction and handling large contexts of up to 262K tokens. Its 262K-token context window means you can pass in entire documents, codebases, or conversation histories without losing context. It can write up to 33K tokens in a single response.
As of Oct 26, 2026, Aion 3.5 Mini costs $1.18 per 1M input tokens and $2.36 per 1M output tokens on Qubax.
