7. Enhanced editing capabilities

• Handles local edits, transformations, pose changes, and reference-based modifications.
• Maintains stylistic consistency during image-to-image operations.

8. Developer-friendly ecosystem

• Fully integrated into Google AI Studio, Vertex AI, and Antigravity platform.
• Supported in Adobe, Figma, and agentic development workflows.

9. SynthID provenance watermark

• Every generated or edited image includes an invisible SynthID watermark.
• Ensures content authenticity and responsible AI usage.

• Hybrid reasoning: supports both fast (“near-instant”) and extended thinking modes.
• Optimised for responsiveness, cost and high-volume production workloads.
• Strong coding performance relative to prior Sonnet versions (improved over Sonnet 3.7).
• Available even in free tiers (alongside paid plans).
• Better suited for general-purpose use and agents where speed + cost-efficiency matter.
