Beyond Models: Agent Engines

Our agent engines combine a language model with a custom inference runtime. We offer two engine types with one identical developer experience.

Engine Types

Unified Engines - Co-designed model and runtime for peak performance on efficient models. Compound Engines - Frontier models (OpenAI, Google) chained together with smart context management.

TIM

TIM is our flagship unified agent engine for a wide range of tasks. It combines a co-designed model and runtime for strong performance across many use cases.

TIM-Edge

TIM-Edge is our highly efficient unified engine, tuned for performance with search tools. It combines a co-designed model and runtime for peak performance, making it ideal for use cases where speed and efficiency are critical.

TIM-Claude

TIM-Claude is a compound engine that provides complex reasoning capabilities for long-context and tool use, backed by Anthropic Claude Sonnet. This is our recommended engine when you need maximum reasoning quality — it also supports image input (see Multimodal Input).

TIM-Claude-Heavy

TIM-Claude-Heavy is our most powerful compound engine, built for the hardest reasoning tasks, backed by Anthropic Claude Opus. Use this when you need the highest capability for the most challenging problems. Supports image input.

TIM-1.5

Tool-calling engine backed by open-source models, targeting larger OSS models at higher capability. All engines can be used with either the sync or async APIs. In async mode, we enqueue work for a background worker to process and expose a simple polling + webhook story for long‑running jobs.
