The practical trade-offs
Documented strengths
- Terminal-Bench 2.1 87.9% is within 0.9 pts of the best model in the set while costing a fraction of it
- MIT-licensed 1.6-1.7T MoE weights, so the exact model can be self-hosted
- Sub-2-second TTFT and 1M context on the hosted API
- Off-peak pricing halves an already low rate ($0.66/$1.98)
Limitations to check
- Design Arena Website 1258 (rank 42) shows visual taste well behind frontier models
- Text-only: screenshot-to-code needs the separate vision-exp model
- SWE-bench Pro 55.4% is far below the Anthropic tier
- Serving 1.6T+ weights locally is out of reach for most teams

Source reports, measured results, and editorial assessments are separate evidence types. Source dates do not imply a new benchmark run. Capture dates are shown when recorded; otherwise we say the capture date was not recorded. Recorded dates are compared with this catalogue snapshot (Sep 11, 2026), not today’s date.
