Step-2
Step-2 is worth evaluating for rag, agents, and long context when its provider route and context window match the workload.
Use it for
- Teams evaluating rag, agents, and long context
- Workloads that can use a 256k context window
- Buyers comparing 1 tracked provider route
Do not use it for
- Workloads where another current model has stronger sourced task evidence
