I believe this is what the “crouton alpha” stealth model was

The use case descriptions and capability descriptions basically match each other. Context windows are the same size. Reasoning options are identical.

same:

* context window size

* reasoning effort levels

* max output size

* knowledge cutoff

* restricted country list

* self-reported "reasoning strength" and "internal reasoning channel" params used in other Meta models

I used crouton alpha quite a bit. It starts strong, but by turn 10 is quite bad, and by turn 20 is unusable. Good for short tasks. Horrible for long.
