Why it stands out

262K-token context window handles longer documents and multi-turn conversations without truncation.

Combines tool use with reasoning — a strong baseline for agentic and multi-step workflows.

Multimodal input (vision) extends it beyond text-only workflows.

$0.45/M input makes it practical for always-on agents, batch processing, or high-volume classification.
