Aion 3.5 Mini is the smaller sibling of Aion 3.5. Like it, it is built on GLM models and writes each reply collaboratively: several specialised models contribute, which gives stories firmer structure and more tension and conflict than a single model usually manages. It costs less than Aion 3.5 and is the practical choice for high-volume roleplay.

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 3.5 Mini is commonly used for interactive fiction, character roleplay, story drafting and narrative games. 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.
