Aion-3.0 example: JSON output against a schema

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

from openai import OpenAI
import json

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.uttapen.ir/v1", api_key="sk-up-…")

schema = {

What is Aion-3.0 good for?

Aion Labs publishes this model; we expose it under the id "aion-labs/aion-3.0". Its context window is 131,072 tokens, roughly 98k English words in one request. A single response can run to 32,768 tokens. On price it sits in the "mid-range" band — cheaper than 92 and dearer than 291 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What it can do beyond plain text: it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

Pricing is 1,038,658 toman per 1M input tokens and 2,077,316 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on Aion-3.0 lands near 4,051 toman. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 259,665 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Mistral Large: Aion-3.0 works out about 10% more expensive, and its context window is larger. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 25 thousand-word requests on Aion-3.0, and every 1,000 toman is about 247 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 3,115,974 toman in total. Filling this model's 131,072-token window costs 136,139 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "aion-labs/aion-2.0", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. On a thousand-word request this variant works out about 3.8× more expensive (4,051 against 1,080 toman).

Aion Labs has 6 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Aion-3.0-Mini at 945 toman per thousand words and the dearest Aion 3.5 at 4,051. It does not support seed, structured_outputs, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) at 131,072 tokens.

Good fits: product chatbots and internal assistants, where cost and quality have to balance, logic puzzles and code review, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema.
