  • Outputs 157 tokens per second for lightning-fast subagent iterations.
  • Scores 37 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 and 39 on Finance & Accounting.
  • Priced at just $0.12/M input and $0.48/M output tokens.

Swarm Multi-Agent Topology

Tier 2: Extreme Efficiency SubagentRole: Coder Subagent

Best Paired With: gpt-6-astra or claude-opus-5

Handles dozens of parallel subtasks at near-zero incremental cost.

Git Worktree Isolation Advantage:

Ideal for high-fanout Coder worktree waves running concurrent test fixes.

What Developers & Practitioners Are Saying

Real-world field observations, production strengths, and developer consensus

Field Consensus

"OpenAI's most economical reasoning model ever created. At $0.07 per task, teams run continuous automated unit test generation and lint repair 24/7."

Verified Real-World Strengths

  • Absolute lowest cost per task ($0.07) in the Artificial Analysis Index
  • High-throughput 157 TPS streaming rate
  • Reliable OpenAI tool use and schema validation

Production Caveats & Gaps

  • Intelligence Index (37) below Tier 1 flagships for deep architectural design
  • Requires supervision from GPT-6 Astra on complex multi-stage tasks
Benchmark Reality Check

What the benchmark tests: Evaluates rapid reasoning, high-volume automated code evaluation, and tool use.

Production caveat: The ultimate subagent for test fixing, code search, and documentation synthesis.
