Using both

A common setup sends routine, high-volume calls to a DeepSeek Flash model. Requests that need image input or a different model's output style go to Kimi K3. Both use the same base URL and key, and only the model field changes:

curl https://api.unoblox.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ub-gw-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-flash","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Classify this ticket as billing, bug or other."}]}'

Frequently asked questions

Do both support tool calling? Yes. The catalog lists tool support for every model in the tables above.

Which models support reasoning output? Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash list reasoning support. DeepSeek V4 Pro (0813) and V3.2 do not.

Do these models run in India? No. All of them run at upstream providers outside India. What's India-specific is rupee billing, a GST invoice for each top-up, and one endpoint.

How is usage billed? Usage is paid from a prepaid rupee wallet. GST at 18% is added when you top up (pay ₹118 and ₹100 of credit lands in your wallet), and one GST tax invoice is issued for each top-up; individual requests carry no separate invoice.

Where are live rates? On the Kimi K3 and DeepSeek V4 Flash model pages, and on every other model page.
