}'Model limitations
| Text only output | It cannot generate images, audio or video. Pair it with an image model on Hoodgen when you need visuals. |
| Output cap | 65,536 tokens per request. Long deliverables have to be chunked. |
| Benchmarks not published | Artificial Analysis does not publish an Intelligence Index for this release, so no benchmark score is claimed here. |
| Knowledge cutoff | The provider does not state a fixed cutoff for every release. Verify very recent events against search. |
| Depth ceiling | Fast tier: strong on throughput, weaker than flagship tiers on long multi step reasoning. |
| Rate limits | Free routes are rate limited by the provider, so heavy batch jobs should use a paid route. |
