What Makes a Model Good for Agents?

Function Calling (Required)

The foundation of agentic AI. Models must be able to decide when and how to call external tools - APIs, databases, file systems, web browsers. Without this, agents can only produce text, not take action.

JSON Mode (Highly Recommended)

Agents need to produce structured, parseable output reliably. JSON mode ensures the model always returns valid JSON, preventing the parsing errors that break automated workflows.

Reasoning (For Complex Tasks)

Chain-of-thought reasoning helps agents plan multi-step sequences, recover from errors, and make better decisions about which tools to use. Critical for complex autonomous workflows.

Streaming (For Real-Time UX)

Streaming lets you observe agent actions in real-time - see which tools it's calling, watch it reason through problems, and intervene early if it goes off track. Essential for interactive agent interfaces.

Vision (For Multimodal Agents)

Vision-capable agents can process screenshots, analyze charts, read documents, and interact with visual interfaces. Required for browser automation, document processing, and GUI agents.

Web Search (For Research Agents)

Built-in web search lets agents find current information without custom search tool integrations. Ideal for research agents, fact-checkers, and competitive analysis workflows.
