Key Innovations

Reasoning
ReasoningStructured step-by-step problem solving, often using chain-of-thought or tree-of-thought approaches.
Multimodal
MultimodalProcessing multiple types of input (text, images, audio, video) in a single model.
Agentic
AgenticModels that can autonomously plan, execute multi-step tasks, use tools, and self-correct without human intervention.
Long Context
Long ContextAbility to process very long inputs (100K+ tokens), enabling analysis of entire codebases or books.
