- Specs: The model is 18GB in size, supports a 128K context window, is licensed under Apache 2.0, and includes an MLX version.
- Use Cases: Meta demonstrated using the model locally to process sensitive tasks like personal credit card statements, emphasizing data privacy. It is currently compatible with various agent harnesses and coding tools like Claude Code and OpenCode.
