Capabilities

Tool callingYes

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

ReasoningNo

No hidden chain-of-thought: output length stays predictable, latency stays tight.

VisionYes

Reads images — screenshots, diagrams, and UI states — inline in the conversation.

Behind the endpoint[02/03]

One endpoint. Served by our engine.

Nova 2 Lite 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.com/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: lx1_your_key" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "lx1-nova-2-lite",
    "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.
