Models Overview
Liutong offers four model families, each optimized for a different category of tasks. All models are accessed through the same OpenAI-compatible API.
Naming scheme
Liutong models follow a structured naming convention: colour-animal-generation.
| Component | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Colour | Task category | crimson = chat, indigo = reasoning, amber = media, jade = embeddings |
| Animal | Model family | falcon, owl, phoenix, mole |
| Number | Generation | 4 = current generation |
This naming scheme keeps model identifiers short, memorable, and easy to type in code.
Available models
| Model | Category | Best for |
|---|---|---|
crimson-falcon-4 | Chat | General text generation, conversation, code, summarization |
indigo-owl-4 | Reasoning | Complex multi-step reasoning, math, logic, analysis |
amber-phoenix-4 | Media | Image and video generation |
jade-mole-4 | Embeddings | Text embeddings for search, clustering, and RAG |
