Capabilities & limits

Core capabilities & limits

Key specs for production planning; exact toggles follow what LimaxAI exposes in chat.

~1M-token context

Public materials cite up to ~1M input tokens—whole repos, long specs, and agent threads with less chunking.

128K max output

Up to ~128K output tokens for long reports, full patches, and large structured deliverables.

Effort & deep reasoning

Adjustable effort (e.g. low / medium / high) to trade latency, cost, and reasoning depth (per integration).

Agents & tool use

Function calling, computer-use class capabilities, and multi-step agent loops for dev and ops automation.

Multimodal input

Images plus text out for UI review, charts, and document Q&A (per chat attachments).

Prompt caching

Cache repeated system prompts, tool schemas, and long prefixes to cut cost on hot agent and IDE paths (API; chat per product).

Use cases

Best-fit scenarios

Aligned with public Claude Opus 4.6 positioning; images are illustrative.

Hard coding & repo understanding
