Routing recommendation
1
Use the fit matrix to compare against cheaper routes when volume rises
Cost pressure
Competitive pricing — $0.14 / M input, $0.28 / M output. Cost pressure is low enough for sustained production use.
Model-fit matrix
Use this model where capability pays for itself; route away where volume, latency, or budget dominate.
| Use case | Fit | Reason | Routing note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complex reasoning & agentic workflows | Excellent | Intelligence score 37 places this model among top performers. Suitable for multi-step analysis and agentic loops. | Route complex tasks here; reserve simpler queries for cheaper models. |
| Cost-sensitive pipelines | Excellent | Output pricing at $0.28 is very competitive for high-volume workloads. | Excellent for budget-constrained pipelines; enable caching to reduce costs further. |

AA-Omniscience Index
AA-Omniscience Index (higher is better) measures knowledge reliability and hallucination. It rewards correct answers, penalizes hallucinations, and has no penalty for refusing to answer. Scores range from -100 to 100, where 0 means as many correct as incorrect answers, and negative scores mean more incorrect than correct. · Evaluation results measured independently by Artificial Analysis
