New AI models added to Soracom Flux AI actions

Soracom Flux AI actions now let you select the following additional AI models:

  • Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.4)
  • Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.4-mini)
  • Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.4-nano)
  • Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.6 Luna)
  • OpenAI (GPT-5.4)
  • OpenAI (GPT-5.4-mini)
  • OpenAI (GPT-5.4-nano)
  • OpenAI (GPT-5.6 Luna)
  • Google Gemini 3.5 Flash
  • Google Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite

Using an AI model in an AI action consumes a model-specific number of Flux credits. The credit consumption per request for the newly added models is as follows:

Model Consumed credits
Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.4) 111 credits
Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.4-mini) 33 credits
Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.4-nano) 9 credits
Azure OpenAI (GPT-5.6 Luna) 44 credits
OpenAI (GPT-5.4) * 111 credits
OpenAI (GPT-5.4-mini) * 33 credits
OpenAI (GPT-5.4-nano) * 9 credits
OpenAI (GPT-5.6 Luna) * 44 credits
Google Gemini 3.5 Flash 66 credits
Google Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite 11 credits

* When you use an OpenAI model with your own API key, no Flux credits are consumed.

Google Gemini 3.5 Flash and Google Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite support video input. Using video input consumes additional credits:

Model Additional credits per request with video input Total credits per request
Google Gemini 3.5 Flash 432 credits 498 credits
Google Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite 72 credits 83 credits
  • For credit consumption by AI model, see Flux pricing and credits.

Announcing Soracom Agent, a Managed AI Agent Service (Technology Preview)

We are pleased to announce Soracom Agent, a new managed AI agent service that supports you throughout every stage of an IoT project, from planning to implementation and operation.

Running an IoT project requires a wide range of specialized knowledge, such as selecting the right devices, deciding how to make use of the collected data, and configuring IoT SIMs and cloud services. Teams without dedicated technical expertise or development resources can find it difficult getting started or adapting to new challenges along the way.

With Soracom Agent, simply discuss your goals and requirements with a dedicated Agent using natural language chat or voice. Your Agent will think autonomously and support you end-to-end, from clarifying your IoT project to implementing and operating it. Built with deep knowledge of the Soracom platform, your Agent can help implement solutions and directly control devices through Soracom APIs, CLI, and MCP servers. Specific capabilities include operating Soracom Cloud Camera Services (SoraCam), analyzing data and images collected from IoT devices, remotely controlling devices using natural language, and automatically building IoT applications with Soracom Flux, all without users requiring specialized technical knowledge.

Soracom Agent also features Project Memory, which lets your Agent learn your business context and system configuration, allowing your Agent to continuously improve and provide increasingly tailored support over time. Each Agent runs in its own isolated, secure container, so the data you provide is never shared with other users or used to train general-purpose AI models. As a fully managed service, no setup is required.

Soracom Agent is available as a Technology Preview. Please contact us with your use case and requirements to request access, or if you would like more information.

Soracom Knowledge MCP Server now available for searching Soracom documentation from AI agents

The Soracom Knowledge MCP Server is now available. It is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents, such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Claude Desktop, search Soracom documentation and Soracom API references.

Once connected, the agent can look up service guides, Soracom User Console procedures, pricing, IoT recipes, Soracom API references, CLI commands, and SAM permissions on demand, and ground its answers in the official documentation. The server is hosted by Soracom as a shared, read-only endpoint. It only searches and reads documentation, and does not modify your account or its resources.

You can connect the server to Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or other MCP clients over HTTP. For setup steps, available tools, and important notes, see Soracom Knowledge MCP Server. If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Usage Dashboard now available in the Soracom User Console

We have added a Usage Dashboard to the Soracom User Console. With the Usage Dashboard, you can review detailed data usage for the current and previous two months directly in your browser.

The Usage Dashboard utilizes Soracom Query, allowing you to retrieve, filter, visualize, and export data without setting up any external data analysis tools. There is no additional Soracom Query charge for using the Usage Dashboard.

Key Features

  • Daily usage data: Review daily usage for your operator for the current and previous two months.
  • In-browser filtering: Narrow the data by attributes such as country and MNO to focus on specific resources or trends.
  • Charts and tables: View your usage as interactive charts and tables.
  • Data export: Download filtered datasets for offline analysis or use with other tools.

How to Use

The Usage Dashboard is available in the Soracom User Console from Menu → Logs & Statistics → Usage Dashboard, or directly at https://console.soracom.io/usage-dashboard. For more details, see the Usage Dashboard documentation.

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Advanced mode now available for the Soracom Support Bot

Advanced mode has been added to the Soracom Support Bot. Previously, the Support Bot generated answers based solely on Soracom documentation. With Advanced mode, the Support Bot can also reference your account data using the Soracom API, enabling it to answer questions specific to your account, such as those regarding IoT SIMs, groups, and other resources.

You can enable Advanced mode with a single toggle in the chat input area when starting a new chat in the Soracom User Console. In Advanced mode, the Support Bot makes read-only requests under the user's permissions. This ensures it only accesses resources the user is permitted to read.

For more details, please see Interacting with the Soracom Support Bot. If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

Traffic Filtering for VPG now available

We are pleased to announce Traffic Filtering, a new feature for Virtual Private Gateway (VPG). Traffic Filtering is a cloud-based firewall. It lets you restrict the destinations that IoT SIMs and Soracom Arc devices using a VPG can access directly, based on IP address, FQDN, port, and protocol.

Key Features

You can combine two types of rules per VPG to allow (allow) or deny (deny) traffic.

  • IP filtering: Set rules by destination IP address (CIDR), protocol (TCP / UDP / ICMP), and port (or port range).
  • Domain (FQDN) filtering: Set rules by destination domain name. Wildcards such as *.example.com are supported.

Availability

Traffic Filtering is available on VPG Type-F, Type-F2, and Type-G. A separate request is required to use it. If you would like to use Traffic Filtering, please contact Soracom Support.

For details, see Traffic Filtering.

AI Action in Soracom Flux now supports multiple images

The AI Action in Soracom Flux now supports sending multiple images to an AI model in a single request.

With the Use image option of the AI Action, you can specify a URL and an optional label for each image using the list editor. Labels can be used to provide additional context about each image to the AI model along with your prompt. You can also switch to the advanced expression mode to specify an expression that evaluates to an array of image URLs, such as ${payload.imageUrls}.

By sending multiple images together, you can compare images from multiple cameras or analyze a sequence of images in a single request.

When sending multiple images, credits are consumed for each image. For example, sending 3 images consumes 3 times the credits of sending a single image.

For details, see AI Action. If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.
