ERNIE X1

lx1-ernie-x1ReasoningLive in the catalog

ERNIE's thinking model: it works a problem through before answering, and it's priced to let you do that on every turn. Strongest on analysis, planning, and multi-step logic, where a careful chain of thought beats a fast reply.

Where it earns its keep[01/03]

01Deliberate reasoning on multi-step problems
02Cheap enough to think on every turn
03Tool calling for agent workflows

Capabilities

Tool callingYes

Strict, schema-faithful tool calls, enforced by the engine on every request — safe to build an agent loop on.

ReasoningYes

Thinks before it answers. Budget max_tokens generously — hidden reasoning counts against it.

VisionNo

Text-only.

Behind the endpoint[02/03]

One endpoint. Served by our engine.

ERNIE X1 is served through the Layer X1 engine — zero-downtime serving is the design target, not a status-page apology. You request it by name; everything else is our problem.

Call it by name

curl https://api.layerx1.in/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: lx1_your_key" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "lx1-ernie-x1",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }]
  }'

OpenAI-style clients work too — send the same model name to /v1/chat/completions with a Bearer key. See the docs for both dialects.
