When to use

Best for

  • Coding agents on demanding repositories
  • Terminal and tool-heavy automation
  • Science and reasoning research
  • Very long document analysis
  • Image and file understanding

Think twice for

  • Long autonomous agent runs
  • New projects (usage is declining)
  • High-volume simple chat (cheaper options exist)
  • Self-hosting (closed weights)
