Performance and limitations

• Complex reasoning: For tasks requiring deep reasoning or problem-solving, consider using our Xavier model instead
• Context window: Limited to 8,000 tokens, which may restrict very long conversations
• Specialized knowledge: May not have expert-level knowledge in highly technical or specialized domains

​

Token usage and optimization

• Keep system messages concise but descriptive
• Use relevant context but avoid unnecessary information
• Consider response length limits for your use case
• Test and optimize prompts to minimize token usage
