What it excels at
Handles long-context reasoning and vision tasks effectively. Supports high-volume batch workloads at low per-token cost with 1M context and 128k output.
The business tradeoff
Batch-only access increases latency and precludes interactive use. Output tokens priced five times higher than input, raising costs for generation-heavy workloads.
