Models
The text API follows the OpenAI Chat Completions shape. Point an OpenAI-compatible client to the Omev base URL and keep the key on your server.
import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://llmapi.omev.be/v1",
api_key=os.environ["OMEV_API_KEY"],
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="omev-lite",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this page in five bullets: ..."}],
max_tokens=500,
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
Public models
| Model | Recommended use | Availability |
|---|---|---|
omev-lite | High-volume, clearly specified text work such as extraction, data organisation, short rewriting and structured output | Standard text access |
omev-pro | Complex instructions, planning, long-form drafting and work that needs deeper reasoning | Standard text access |
omev-image-lite | One or more inline 1024x1024 images | Separate image agreement |
omev-image-main | One inline 1K-class image, up to 1536x1024 or 1024x1536 | Separate image agreement |
omev-image-pro | One or more inline 1K-class images | Separate image agreement |
omev-image-jobs | Asynchronous 1K image generation for automated pipelines | Separate image agreement |
GET /v1/models returns the documented products enabled for the key. Do not build an
integration around an unfamiliar or internal name.
Choosing between omev-lite and omev-pro
Start with omev-lite when the instruction and output are clear. Use omev-pro when
the difficulty is reasoning: several dependent constraints, planning, long context or
a response that must keep a complex argument consistent.
Moving to omev-pro does not replace a clear prompt. State the goal, required facts,
audience, language, format and constraints in the request.
Text endpoint
POST /v1/chat/completions- streaming with
"stream": true - structured JSON with
response_format - standard
system,userandassistantmessages
Validate JSON against your own schema before storing or publishing it. When you set
max_tokens explicitly, it caps the output tokens billed to your account. Omev's internal
generation floors and hidden reasoning budgets remain unchanged, but they cannot raise billed
output above max_tokens. Also set a client timeout that matches your use case.
Image endpoints
Image instructions are available to everyone, but image access is enabled only under a separate agreement with support@omev.be. See Image generation for the supported request shapes.
Stable public surface
Build against the public omev-* name, documented route and documented fields. The
underlying technical model, provider, internal attempts and Omev's own cost are not part
of the client response and may change without requiring an integration change.
