Frequently Asked Questions about Aion-Mini
How much does the Aion-Mini API cost per 1M tokens?+
Aion-Mini by AionLabs is priced at $0.08 per 1M input tokens and $0.32 per 1M output tokens. With prompt caching enabled, cached input tokens cost $0.008 per 1M tokens, and asynchronous Batch API requests receive a 50% discount.
Should I use a $20/month subscription or the Aion-Mini pay-as-you-go API?+
A flat $20/month consumer subscription is predictable for daily interactive chat and manual coding. However, if you are building software, running automated workflows, or sending low-to-moderate volume with prompt caching enabled, the pay-as-you-go API is typically far more cost-effective and offers higher rate limits without manual UI caps.
How many words and pages fit in Aion-Mini's context window?+
Aion-Mini features a 131K tokens context window, which equals approximately 98,304 English words or ~262 standard single-spaced pages in a single prompt. Its maximum output generation per turn is 8,192 tokens.
Can I run Aion-Mini locally on my own GPU (Open Weights)?+
No, Aion-Mini is a proprietary closed-weights model hosted by AionLabs. It cannot be downloaded for local GPU execution and must be accessed via AionLabs's official API or cloud platform.
Does AionLabs train on data sent to the Aion-Mini API, and is commercial use allowed?+
API payloads are excluded from model training by default. License tier: Proprietary Commercial API (AionLabs Terms). Full commercial ownership of generated outputs. Supported deployment channels include: AionLabs Cloud API & Enterprise Endpoints.
How does Aion-Mini perform on coding and reasoning benchmarks?+
Aion-Mini achieves a composite Intelligence Index of 74/100, scoring N/A% on SWE-bench Verified, N/A% on GPQA Diamond, 71% on MMLU-Pro, and 1255 pts on Chatbot Arena Elo.
What is Aion-Mini best used for?+
Aion-Mini is best suited for: Unternehmensautomatisierung, Software-Engineering, autonome KI-Agenten und AionLabs-Produktionssysteme. Assessment: Aion-Mini von AionLabs überzeugt durch eine ausgewogene Kombination aus Intelligenz, Geschwindigkeit und Kosteneffizienz.

AI Glossary & Architecture Concepts
View full glossary →Key machine learning concepts and benchmarks relevant to Aion-Mini:
The basic unit of text that a language model processes, typically representing about 3 to 4 English characters or roughly 0.75 words. For example, the sentence "Artificial intelligence is fast" breaks down into about 5 tokens.
A standardized evaluation suite used to objectively measure and rank an AI model's capabilities across specific tasks — such as SWE-bench Verified for software engineering, AIME for competitive math, or MMLU for general knowledge.
The maximum number of tokens a model can consider at once — both the input it reads and the output it writes. A 1,000,000-token context window can hold roughly 750,000 English words in a single request.
An AI model trained via reinforcement learning to spend dynamic compute thinking through complex logic, math, and architectural problems before outputting a solution. Examples include OpenAI o1, o3, and DeepSeek R1.
A step-by-step reasoning technique where an AI model generates intermediate problem-solving thoughts before arriving at a final answer. Native reasoning models like OpenAI o3 and DeepSeek R1 use CoT to solve complex math and coding challenges.
The ability of a language model to recognize when an external capability is needed and output structured JSON arguments to invoke external APIs, databases, or terminal commands. The runtime executes the tool and passes results back to the model.
Benchmark scores, token prices, and rate limits evolve rapidly as AI labs release model updates. Always verify current specifications and pricing on the official provider documentation.
