It is post-trained on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, with a focus on completing software engineering tasks using fewer tokens. Particle describes the gains as shorter reasoning, fewer rounds of trial and repair, and more focused exploration.\n\nUse it for debugging, planning code changes, and breaking down multi-step engineering problems. Particle-1 has a 1M-token context window for working with code and extended task histories.\n\nSet `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` in your environment. Use `particle/particle-1` as the model name:\n\nTo use it in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more, install the latest version of Vercel CLI and run setup:\n\nThen select `particle/particle-1` in the agent. See the [coding agents guide](https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/coding-agents) for details.\n\nTry Particle-1 in the [model playground](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models/particle-1).\n\nAI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime.
