Pricing	usage	usage
Strengths	+ Vendor-stated state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with the lead growing on longer, more complex tasks + 1M-token context window and up to 128k output tokens per request + Built for long-horizon autonomous agent work with memory tool, compaction, and programmatic tool calling + Server-side fallback parameter and fallback credit simplify refusal handling	+ Strong retrieval quality on general-domain text + API-based; no embedding infrastructure to host
Tradeoffs	− Premium pricing: $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens − Safety classifiers can refuse requests (vendor says under 5% of sessions on average, sometimes catching harmless ones), so integrations must handle stop_reason refusal − 30-day data retention required; not available under zero data retention	− API-only; document text leaves your environment to be embedded − Adds a second vendor alongside the generation model
