Why teams choose it
Broad capability envelope
Useful when the same stack must cover chat, multimodal inputs, tooling, or structured-output shapes without juggling many SKUs.
Long-context analysis
Helps teams summarize, compare, and extract insights from long documents without losing important nuance.
Coding and tools
Works well for code assistance, tool calling, and agent workflows where instructions must stay consistent across steps.
Cost-efficient routing
Useful as part of a routing stack where cheap models handle drafts and confirmations and this tier handles genuinely hard passages.
Tradeoffs to know
- 1080p output is upscaled, not native.
- Billed per second of output video.
