The model features a 32,768 token context window and generates explicit thinking traces before producing final answers, making it suitable for agents, tool use, mathematics, and RAG workflows. It achieves strong benchmark results including 87.96 on MATH 500 and 85.60 on GSM8K, while a multi-stage training pipeline with supervised reasoning traces, preference alignment, and RLVR dramatically reduces doom looping from 15.74% to 0.36%. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
