Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Low input cost at $0.30 per million tokens suits high-volume workloads.
- 1M context supports large documents, repositories and extended conversations.
- Supports text & reasoning and vision workloads in one model.
Limitations
- Generated tokens cost 8× more than input tokens, which matters for verbose responses.
- Large context capacity does not guarantee consistent retrieval across the entire prompt.
- Arena Elo and MMLU-Pro are directional; test accuracy, latency and reliability on your own workload before committing.
Arena Elo, MMLU-Pro and pricing figures are illustrative; validate current vendor terms before purchase.
