- Agentic coding assistants that run plan → edit → test loops over a repository, where the 204,800-token context keeps large diffs and file trees in scope
- Automated code review and multi-file refactoring drafts on mid-sized codebases
- Long-document analysis: summarizing and querying contracts, logs, or research papers that run past 100K tokens
- Streaming chat assistants and IDE sidekicks that need steady token throughput at a predictable cost
