Tool use

Why it stands out

Tool use support makes it viable for function-calling and agentic pipelines.
$0.2/M input makes it practical for always-on agents, batch processing, or high-volume classification.

33K context window is shorter than the longest-context frontier models available today.
No benchmark score currently tracked — evaluate using task-specific testing alongside pricing and capability data.
