100M+ requests a day

The reasoning model your engineers will actually trust.

Frontier capability at a fifth of the frontier price — and deterministic on the same input twice, so your evals mean something. Zero data retention by default, on every paid request.

The whole integration

Same request shape as the API you are already calling, so the migration is an import and a base URL.

summarise.tsts
import { Client } from "@your-org/sdk";

const client = new Client({ apiKey: process.env.API_KEY });

const res = await client.messages.create({
  model: "reason-1",
  temperature: 0,          // deterministic: same in, same out
  max_tokens: 1024,
  tools: [summariseTicket],
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Summarise ticket #4821 for the on-call." },
  ],
});

console.log(res.content[0].text);

Streaming is the same call with `stream: true`. Batch runs at half price with a one-hour window.

01CapabilitiesSystem card with every release

Built for production, not demos

The six things engineering teams check before they commit a roadmap to a model.

Featured

Published evals

Scores on MMLU, GSM-8K and HumanEval printed per release, with the full eval harness open so you can reproduce every number yourself.

Deterministic on retry

Same input at temperature 0 is bit-for-bit the same output. Regression tests that actually regress.

Native tool use

Parallel function calling, JSON mode, and structured outputs that validate against your schema.

Streaming + batch

Token-level streaming for interactive loads; a batch API at half price for everything that can wait an hour.

Fine-tuning

LoRA fine-tunes from 50 examples. Hosted inference, and the weights are yours to export.

128K context

Long-context that holds attention at depth — needle-in-haystack scores published per release.

Model + API changelog

Every model release carries a system card and a benchmark delta. Deprecations get six months and a migration guide.

  1. New

    reason-1.2 — long-context recall improved at 128K

    Needle-in-haystack scores published per depth band alongside the release. Same price.

  2. Improved

    Batch API window cut from 24h to 1h

    Half price, same models, and a hard completion guarantee inside the window.

  3. New

    Structured outputs validate against your JSON schema

    Invalid generations are retried server-side rather than returned for you to parse and discard.

  4. Security

    Zero retention extended to the batch endpoint

    Batch requests now match the interactive default: nothing stored after the response is delivered.

  5. Deprecated

    reason-0.9 retires 18 Dec 2026

    Six months of notice, a one-line migration, and both models served side by side until the date.

Deterministic replay changed how we test. Our eval suite went from vibes to CI gate in a week.

We cut inference spend 78% moving the summarisation pipeline over. Quality delta was inside noise.

Questions engineering teams ask

How does it compare on benchmarks?+

Every release publishes its MMLU, GSM-8K and HumanEval scores next to the previous one, at a fifth of the per-token cost of the frontier APIs. The eval harness is public — rerun every number yourself rather than taking ours.

Will the same prompt give the same answer twice?+

At temperature 0, yes — bit-for-bit. That determinism is what makes real regression testing possible.

What about data retention?+

Zero retention by default on every paid request. Enterprise can scope further, including fully in-VPC deployments for regulated workloads.

Is there a free tier?+

$5 of credit on signup, no card required. After that it's pay-as-you-go — no commitments below Enterprise.

What happens at the rate limit?+

429s with a Retry-After header and a real queue on Scale tier — not silent throttling. Burst headroom is documented per tier.

Can we fine-tune?+

LoRA fine-tunes from as few as 50 examples, hosted on the same infra. The resulting weights are exportable — they're yours.
