Common questions about Lyceum Complex
Short answers about the model ID, price, limits and behaviour.
What is the model ID for Lyceum Complex?
Use lyceum/complex as the model value. The OpenAI-compatible base URL is https://api.lyceum.technology/openai/v1. You authenticate with your Lyceum API key as a Bearer token.
Which model does Lyceum Complex use?
Lyceum Complex sends each request to MiniMax M3 today. Requests are billed as that model.
How much does Lyceum Complex cost?
Lyceum Complex costs $0.40 per 1M input tokens, $0.10 per 1M cached input tokens and $2.00 per 1M output tokens. Prices are in US dollars. Billed per token. No base fee.
What is the context window of Lyceum Complex?
Lyceum Complex has a 1M tokens context window. One request can generate up to 65,536 tokens and run for up to 300 seconds. Set stream: true for long outputs.
Does Lyceum Complex support tool calling?
Yes. Send tools in the standard OpenAI format. Automatic tool calls, parallel calls and tool-result round trips work.
Does Lyceum Complex support prompt caching?
Yes, and it is automatic. When requests share an identical start, the cached part is billed at $0.10 per 1M tokens instead of $0.40. Keep the stable part of your prompt at the front. A cache hit is best effort, so read usage.prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens, which is missing on a miss.
Where does Lyceum Complex run, and is my data kept?
Lyceum Complex runs on EU-hosted infrastructure. Prompts and outputs are processed, not stored, and never used for training.
How do I call Lyceum Complex with the OpenAI SDK?
Point the OpenAI SDK at https://api.lyceum.technology/openai/v1, use your Lyceum API key and set model="lyceum/complex". Chat completions, streaming, tool calling and usage accounting work as they do with OpenAI.
Behaviour notes follow the Lyceum API documentation, checked 6 October 2026.
