Best use cases
- Call it if you need a 400000 token context window with vision input, tool calling, and JSON output.
- It is listed for long-context, vision, and agent use cases.
- Use it when you want a model with that context size at this price point.
When not to use
- Do not call it if first-party CacheSafety Bench results are a required decision input.
- This exact model has no published CacheSafety row, so no Safe Hit, Bad Hit, or trap rate is stated for it.
- Do not call it if you need a context size different from 400000 tokens, because that is the only context value in these notes.
