General reasoning
Code
Context · A
Distilled from a larger Gemini teacher, demonstrating knowledge-distillation as a path to mid-scale open-weights quality. Source-available license restricts some uses.
Context · B
The first Claude release to beat its own larger sibling (Claude 3 Opus) on most benchmarks. Established Artifacts, driving a wave of code-and-canvas product copies.
