Early testing shows it outperforms Claude Opus 4.6 in agentic workflows, particularly for complex multi-file projects, though it struggles with simple chat and front-end tasks like SVG generation. The model will be open-weights and available via API at competitive pricing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
