Meet Yuva

Best for production chat, coding, vision + audio.

Yuva is the production default and where most work should sit. It reads images and audio as well as text, generates images and audio, and calls several tools at once rather than one after another. Its 1M context is large enough to hold a repository, which is what makes it the coding model — it can be shown the code rather than told about it. Up to two stages, so it considers before it answers without the cost of a full agentic run.

Coding against the real repository

Yuva's 1M context is large enough to hold a repository, which is what makes it the coding model: it can be shown the code rather than told about it.

It works in up to two stages, so it considers a change before it answers without the cost of a full agentic run.

Images and recordings in the conversation

Anything with an image or a recording in it belongs on Yuva. It reads screenshots, photos and audio, and it can generate images and audio in return.

Several tools in one turn

Yuva calls tools side by side instead of one after another, which suits production chat and work that has to gather from more than one place before it can answer.

Where it stops

No video input — that is Rishi. Costs more per token than Bala, so high-volume text work is cheaper on Bala unless it needs the extra care.
