Step 3.5 Flash

stepfun-ai/step-3.5-flash

StepFun's most capable open-source reasoning model with visible reasoning traces. Built on a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 196B total parameters and only 11B active per token, it achieves frontier-level performance in math, logic, and agentic coding while reaching up to 350 tokens/sec. Supports 256K context. NOTE: This model runs via StepFun, which may log and train on your prompts.
