- **More deliberate scaffolding**: Builds clearer plans and intermediate structure by default; benefits from explicit scope and verbosity constraints
- **Generally lower verbosity**: More concise and task-focused, though still prompt-sensitive
- **Stronger instruction adherence**: Less drift from user intent; improved formatting
- **Tool efficiency trade-offs**: May take additional tool actions; can be optimized via prompting
- **Conservative grounding bias**: Favors correctness and explicit reasoning; ambiguity handling improves with clarification prompts
