Coding and code review
Generate, debug, and review code across languages, reading whole files or repos in a single prompt.

Agentic and multi-step workflows
Reliable tool-calling and instruction-following suit agent loops that plan, call tools, and iterate.

Complex reasoning
Extended reasoning improves reliability on multi-step math, logic, and technical analysis.

Long-document analysis
Summarize and extract from contracts, papers, and reports without aggressive chunking.

Use cases

Design-to-code generation from mockups, wireframes, or screenshots is a documented use case: the model can understand layout, color palette, component hierarchy, and interaction logic, then generate a runnable frontend project.

Frontend debugging from screenshots is also documented: it can identify rendering issues such as layout misalignment, component overlap, and color mismatches, then help generate fix code.

Autonomous website exploration and agent workflow support are documented use cases: it can browse target websites, map page transitions, collect visual assets and interaction details, and generate code from the exploration results.

GUI and computer-use agent tasks are documented as well: it can understand webpage layouts, GUI elements, and chart information to help an agent handle complex real-world tasks involving perception, planning, and execution.
