Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Multimodal input: text, image, audio, video just works and built-in tool use and function calling. but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: native tool calling and code execution and very fast inference for real-time use. Where it lags: some features remain experimental or gated. On balance the feature set — especially real-time streaming responses — justifies the 4 stars for our use case.
