Use Case Ratings
code generation
Industry-leading code generation with 91.6% HumanEval. Exceptional for complex algorithms and competitive programming. Chain-of-thought reasoning helps with architectural decisions.
customer support
Slower response times make it less ideal for real-time support. Better suited for complex troubleshooting requiring deep reasoning.
content creation
Good for technical content requiring accuracy. Reasoning overhead may be unnecessary for creative writing.
data analysis
Excellent for complex data analysis and statistical reasoning. Strong mathematical capabilities.
research assistant
Outstanding for research requiring deep reasoning and mathematical analysis. Chain-of-thought provides detailed explanations.
legal compliance
Strong reasoning capabilities useful for contract analysis. 30-day data retention may be concern for some legal applications.
healthcare
Good analytical capabilities but lacks HIPAA eligibility. Data retention policies may limit healthcare applications.
financial analysis
Exceptional mathematical reasoning and complex financial modeling. Chain-of-thought reasoning provides audit trails.
education
Outstanding for STEM education. Chain-of-thought reasoning shows detailed problem-solving steps.
