Use cases

  • Complex reasoning tasks requiring stepwise deduction, such as mathematical problem solving and logical puzzles.
  • Document analysis and summarization where large context windows and structured reasoning are crucial.
  • Conversational agents needing explicit reasoning transparency for trust and explainability.
  • Knowledge-heavy applications involving multiple linked documents or extensive logs.
  • Tool-augmented AI agents where integrating chain-of-thought and function calls improves task control.
