# Claude Sonnet 4.6 Thinking

> Claude sonnet 4.6 does not enable reasoning mode by default. To access its deep reasoning capabilities, users would typically need to call the native Claude API. To make this capability available through an OpenAI-compatible interface, we provide the claude-sonnet-4-6-think model, which has reasoning mode pre-enabled and a default 32k-token context window, allowing it to be called directly via the OpenAI unified API.
Claude sonnet 4.5 Think is a reasoning-focused variant of Claude sonnet 4.6 designed for advanced tasks that require rigorous reasoning, complex decision-making, and long-chain analysis. Aside from its enhanced reasoning mechanism, all other capabilities remain consistent with the standard Claude sonnet 4.6 model, making it well suited for complex engineering problem decomposition, multi-stage planning, and logic-intensive analysis.

## Endpoints (base URL: https://aihubmix.com)

- `POST /v1/chat/completions` — OpenAI Chat Completions (`Authorization: Bearer $AIHUBMIX_API_KEY`)

## Example

```bash
curl -s https://aihubmix.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIHUBMIX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"claude-sonnet-4-6-think","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
```

## Response

Without `stream`, `/v1/chat/completions` returns a standard Chat Completions object:

```json
{"id":"...","object":"chat.completion","model":"claude-sonnet-4-6-think","choices":[{"message":{"role":"assistant","content":"..."}}],"usage":{"prompt_tokens":12,"completion_tokens":24,"total_tokens":36}}
```

With `"stream": true` the response is `text/event-stream`: read each `data:` JSON chunk until `data: [DONE]`. The Messages and Gemini endpoints return their protocols' native response shapes (Anthropic / Google).

## Errors

Error responses carry a `tid` (trace id) — include it when contacting support. Reference: https://docs.aihubmix.com/en/FAQs/HTTP-Codes.md

- 400 — parameter error; most are passed through from the upstream provider (media: `prompt_missing`, `size_not_supported`, `n_not_within_range`, …)
- 401 — missing `Authorization` header, or the key is invalid/expired
- 403 — `insufficient_user_quota` (top up at https://console.aihubmix.com/?utm_source=llms-agent&utm_medium=model-llms), account suspended, or this key is not allowed to use this model
- 429 — rate limited; back off and retry
- 503 — no channel can serve the request (check the model id and your access), or the upstream provider is throttling; retry later

- Compare with another model (human-facing, side-by-side specs and pricing): https://aihubmix.com/compare — pick this model and a peer there; published pairs are listed in https://aihubmix.com/sitemap-compare.xml, unpublished pairs 404 so do not compose the path by hand
- Full parameter schema (machine-readable, authoritative): https://aihubmix.com/model-data/models/claude-sonnet-4-6-think.1b35f0b4.json — per-protocol parameters with types, ranges, enums and defaults. Refreshed together with this page; if it ever 404s, re-resolve via `https://aihubmix.com/model-data/index.json` (find this id, fetch its `path`)
- Generate runnable code programmatically: npm `@aihubmix/codegen` — the generator behind the Playground's "Get Code" (4 protocols × 7 languages, media endpoints included); the body it builds is the exact wire body the Playground sends, so generated snippets and real requests cannot diverge. `@aihubmix/model-schema` (npm) translates the parameter schema above into codegen input
