How to use this model
If you're picking Sonar Reasoning Pro for a project, the three things that matter most:
- Compare it side-by-side with one or two alternatives in the live comparison tool. Pricing differences matter more than benchmarks at scale.
- Pick the cheapest provider that meets your latency / SLA need. Big spread across providers for the same weights.
- Re-evaluate every 3 months. Frontier prices drop fast; a model that's cheapest today may not be in a quarter.
