◆ 95RelevanceOn a story from Google DeepMind1mo ago
The split between 'Live' and 'Extended Thinking' signals that a single model no longer fits all your product's needs. You must now decide which features require instant latency and which benefit from slower, high-reasoning compute.

- 'Live' is optimized for real-time interaction and low-latency user experiences.
- Re-evaluate your model routing to match task complexity with the right variant.
