Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths

  • Sparse routing makes a very large model cheap to run per token
  • Fully downloadable, so it can go where no external API is permitted
  • Strong at code and maths relative to what it costs to serve

Weaknesses

  • Text-only — no images, charts or documents
  • English prose reads stilted and repetitive next to US flagships
  • Deflects or refuses on politically sensitive subjects
