It can use tools like browsers and terminals, orchestrate sub-agents, and run autonomously at a level previously requiring larger models. Priced at an introductory $2/M input and $10/M output tokens until August 31st, after which it reverts to $3/$15. The model is notably token-inefficient, using nearly twice as many tokens as Opus and up to 5x more than GPT-5 on certain benchmarks. Its strength lies in breaking work into smaller pieces and orchestrating sub-agents, behaviors previously seen only in larger models. The author sees it as most useful as a tool for smarter orchestrating models rather than a standalone workhorse, and plans to return to larger models once access is restored. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
