Thinking levels: Always thinks

Aion-3.0 Mini is AionLabs' smaller storytelling system, built on DeepSeek models. Several specialised models each contribute to a reply, which gives stories stronger structure and more tension than a single model usually produces. It is the lower-cost version of Aion-3.0; the newer Aion 3.5 family has since followed it.

It accepts text input and returns text, and supports tool calling, structured JSON output and streaming. It always reasons before answering, and you choose how hard it thinks with the reasoning effort setting. Aion-3.0-Mini is commonly used for interactive fiction, character roleplay and story drafting at volume. Hormouz serves it behind an OpenAI-compatible API: point your base URL at Hormouz, drop in a Hormouz key, and existing OpenAI SDK code runs without changes.

Pricing is usage-based: $0.7 per million input tokens and $1.4 per million output tokens. There is no fixed monthly fee, and you pay only for the tokens you use. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
