Stream-enabled models provide instant code completions and suggestions as you type. Watch the AI generate entire functions, loops, and complex logic in real-time without waiting for responses.
Ask your AI pair programmer to explain existing code, identify bugs, and suggest improvements. Large context windows let the AI understand your entire codebase architecture.
Reasoning-capable models engage in deep architectural discussions, help you design systems, and explore design patterns. Reasoning models think through trade-offs before responding.
Use AI pair programmers as coding mentors. They explain why code works, teach best practices, and help you understand complex concepts through interactive, real-time dialogue.
