Category	model	model
Vendor type	commercial	open source
Pricing	usage	free
Strengths	+ Half the per-token price of GPT-5.5 while staying in the frontier coding/professional tier + 1M-token context window with up to 128K output tokens + mini variant targeted at subagent and computer-use workloads for high-volume agent fleets	+ Open weights — fully self-hostable + No per-token API costs once deployed + Active research community
Tradeoffs	− OpenAI directs complex reasoning and coding to GPT-5.5 instead − Older knowledge cutoff (Aug 31, 2025) than GPT-5.5	− Inference infra is the team's problem − Tool-use reliability slightly trails frontier closed models
