Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths

  • Very high output throughput once it starts — fast for a model that always reasons
  • Takes video files directly, with no frame extraction or transcription step
  • Reasoning is always on, so there is no mode to pick and get wrong

Weaknesses

  • Long wait before the first token, because it always thinks first
  • Still states wrong facts confidently enough to need grounding for factual work

Requests above 200K tokens are billed at 2x. GPQA Diamond 90.1 per Artificial Analysis (third-party). xAI documents no fixed max-output cap; xAI published agentic (tau2-Bench, IFBench) rather than academic benchmarks at launch.
