What the numbers mean
- Context window16,384 tokens

- Max output14,745 tokens
- The longest single reply it can write: about 11,000 words.

- What you pay for everything the model reads. A 1,000-word prompt costs less than a cent.

- Modalitiestext, image in, decisions out
- The kinds of content it accepts and the kinds it produces. A model that takes images in can read a screenshot; one that only puts text out cannot draw.
