When to pick Dots3-Note Preview Free
Dots3-Note Preview Free is marked deprecated in this catalog snapshot. Read it to understand traffic you already run rather than as a route to start on.
Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field.
- Reach for it when cost is the binding constraint. At $0 in and $0 out per 1M tokens, combined token price sits in the cheapest quarter of the 146 models publishing both rates in this snapshot.
- Reach for it when the input includes images. The snapshot records image input, so screenshots, scans, and diagrams can be sent directly instead of described.
- Reach for it when the model has to call tools. Tool calling is recorded in the snapshot, so this route can drive an agent loop rather than only answer in prose.
- Look elsewhere when you need to call it through Kendr today. This is a research reference profile with no Kendr alias. The facts and evidence here are published for comparison; the model is not routable on Kendr.
- Look elsewhere when you are starting something new. The catalog marks this model deprecated, with service ending 2026-09-30. Prefer a current route for new work; this profile stays published for teams reading traffic they already run.
