FR — Aucun tarif SEA-LION public n’est publié dans les sources officielles examinées. Les modèles sont annoncés open source et gratuits à utiliser; l’API gratuite de POC est limitée et les prix des partenaires cloud doivent être vérifiés séparément. EN — No public SEA-LION price is published in the official sources reviewed. Models are advertised as open source and free to use; the free proof-of-concept API is limited and cloud-partner prices must be checked separately.
Free plans, trials and paid APIs are separate. Always check the exact offer.
What you can send and get
Relevant models accept text and image. The API uses JSON for chat/completions and embedding endpoints; no general list of importable or exportable file formats is established.
Agents and automation
This is not a no-code agent builder. With SEA-LION v4.5, a developer can declare functions and run the application loop around function calls themselves.
