Price history
Only one price point recorded so far.
The staircase chart appears once a price change is detected.
What it excels at
Suitable for high-volume batch processing of multimodal inputs with very large context windows at low per-token cost.
The business tradeoff
As a small open-weights model, reasoning depth and output consistency are limited; quality depends heavily on downstream fine-tuning and deployment.
