What sets them apart

These models trade some raw reasoning depth for speed and cost efficiency, optimized to respond quickly in conversational, high-volume contexts.

Typical use cases

Customer support chat, quick Q&A, and any interface where response latency matters more than handling the hardest edge cases benefit most from this tier.

The tradeoff

For genuinely complex multi-step tasks, routing to a frontier reasoning model — even at higher cost — usually produces a materially better result.
