Updates and Status

The maximum length of a single response for DeepSeek V4 Flash has been increased by 4 times: from 8,192 to 32,768 tokens (max_tokens parameter). Large files and long responses from agent tools now fit into a single call. Additionally: if the response hits the limit in the middle of a tool call, the gateway returns a proper finish_reason="length" instead of a truncated call — agent clients (Cursor and others) continue working correctly instead of hanging on a parsing error.

A third active model has appeared in the Gonka network — DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731: 380,000 token context (the longest in the network, verified by a real 381K request), reasoning and tool calling. The identifier is deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731, pricing is the same as other models. The model is in early testing but fully available: select it in the dashboard chat or specify it in the model field of your API request.

From August 3, inference cost: input — 22 nGNK, output — 66 nGNK per token (double the previous 11/33). Gateway fee remains unchanged at 10%. Demo mode remains free. Current prices for all models are on the Pricing page and GET /api/pricing.

If the Gonka network receives a request but fails to respond (300s timeout), the gateway now immediately returns a 504 error instead of a series of silent retries. Important note on billing: a request accepted by the network cannot be cancelled — the node processes it regardless, so in case of a timeout, the prompt processing estimate is deducted (completion is not billed). Recommendation: for long generations, use stream:true — streams are more resilient to timeouts and show progress immediately.

The deposit fee via USDT now decreases as the amount increases: base 5%, from $25 — 4.5%, from $50 — 4%, from $100 — 3.5%, from $250 — 3%, from $500 — 2.75%, from $1000 — 2.5%. The deposit dialog features an interactive ladder: amount slider, GNK bonus for each step, and your savings. The discount is applied automatically upon deposit.

You can set a total (cumulative) spending limit for child keys — a dedicated quota that does not reset, unlike daily or monthly limits. Once the quota is exhausted, requests using the key are rejected. The limit is set in the dashboard (with nanogonka precision) or via API using the limit_total_ngonka field in POST/PATCH /api/management/keys/{id}/children; the accumulated usage is reset using the "Reset usage" button (or POST /api/management/keys/{id}/children/{childId}/reset-usage).

Inference costs are now synchronized with the actual Gonka network price per token. Prices remain among the lowest on the market — fractions of a cent per million tokens, hundreds of times cheaper than OpenAI and Anthropic for the same open-source models. Output tokens are priced higher than input tokens (×3), as is standard with most providers.

We have confirmed the actual context limit for active models — up to 200,000 tokens (previously, conservative estimates of 131,072 were published). You can now send longer documents and dialogue histories; current specifications for each model can be found in the "Network Status" section.

The cost of each request is visible in USD — in the API response (field usage.total_cost_usd) and in the "Usage" section. Easy for budget planning.

Set up API access in your tool automatically: run npx @joingonka/setup. Supported: Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cline, Continue, opencode, Aider, and others.

The model searches the internet during the response and adds links to sources. To enable: pass plugins: [{ "id": "web", "max_results": 5 }] in the request body — works in OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API.

Maximum response length is up to 8192 tokens; control it via the max_tokens parameter (default is 1024 for streaming and 1500 for non-streaming).

On the "Chat" page, select a model from the list (loaded from /v1/models) — the selection is saved and applied to new conversations.

Need speed? Add the header x-joingonka-meta: 1 to the request — the streaming response will include ttft_ms (time to first token) and tokens_per_sec.

Create a management key (POST /api/management/keys) and generate child keys with custom limits (daily/monthly quotas, rate limits, expiration) via POST /api/management/keys/{id}/children.

Enable plugins using the plugins parameter: response-healing fixes broken JSON, privacy-sanitization masks private data, file-parser extracts text from PDFs and documents.

OpenAI: base_url https://gate.joingonka.ai/v1, header Authorization: Bearer your-key. Anthropic (Claude Code): base_url https://gate.joingonka.ai, header x-api-key, endpoint /v1/messages.

GNK: get the address and memo and send tokens on-chain. USDT: specify an amount from 1 to 10,000 USD and pay via OxaPay — automatic conversion to GNK.
