Tradeoffs to know
- Throughput quotas vary—plan for retries and backoff.
- Vision and tool capabilities evolve; regression-test critical prompts on upgrades.
When not to use this
- Not ideal for simple tasks where cheaper models in the same lineup are good enough.
- Avoid for latency-sensitive real-time chat when raw response speed outweighs reasoning depth.
- Confirm limits, pricing, and regional availability on the provider side before committing production workloads.
