What it excels at
Supports 256k context and 128k output for long-document tasks. Open weights enable fine-tuning and self-hosted deployment at moderate token prices.
The business tradeoff
Output cost of $4 per million tokens raises expense for high-volume generation. Reasoning depth typically trails closed frontier models on complex multi-step tasks.
