Sonar Pro · Strengths & Key Advantages

  • Janela de contexto de 200K com limite máximo de saída de 8K tokens (GPQA Diamond 65% · MMLU-Pro 81.5%)
  • Taxa de transferência rápida de 85 tokens/segundo com latência inicial (TTFT) de 580 ms
  • Economia de API competitiva ($3/$15 por 1M de tokens) com suporte a cache de prompts e saídas JSON estruturadas
Considerations & Trade-offs
  • Modelo proprietário em nuvem; não permite download dos pesos para execução local offline
  • Para alto volume de requisições, recomenda-se ativar o cache de prompts e a Batch API para reduzir custos
