What stands out

What its maker marketed at launch, and what people found later, each with its source.

  • Multi-agent model variant

    Dedicated API id that runs parallel collaborating agents (4 at low/medium effort, 16 at high/xhigh) that search and cross-check before synthesizing an answer.

    Source: docs.x.ai

  • Reasoning and non-reasoning twin ids

    Same snapshot (0309) offered as separate reasoning and non-reasoning model ids.

    Source: docs.x.ai
