New model adds native visual capabilities, with 320B total and 18B active parameters
- Native visual capabilities enable the model to observe interfaces, rendering results, and interaction feedback—creating a closed loop across code, browsers, and GUIs.
- Efficient hybrid architecture: Combines linear and sparse attention with 320B total parameters and 18B activated, significantly reducing compute and KV-cache requirements.
- Beyond coding: Supports office document and financial research workflows, autonomously breaking down goals, using tools, and refining outputs. Learn more in our documentation.*
