Strengths and limitations

Strengths

Low input cost at $0.09 per million tokens suits high-volume workloads.
262K context supports large documents, repositories and extended conversations.
Supports text & reasoning and vision workloads in one model.

Limitations

Generated tokens cost 3× more than input tokens, which matters for verbose responses.
Large context capacity does not guarantee consistent retrieval across the entire prompt.
