Step 5 Preview: StepFun's Flagship Agentic Model

Step 5 Preview is StepFun's leading model, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 600 billion total parameters and 27 billion active parameters. It is engineered for advanced agentic workflows, supporting an extensive context window of up to 1 million tokens and handling multimodal inputs including text, images, and video. This model is designed for sustained reasoning and complex tool use across various domains.

Key Capabilities

  • Software Engineering: Navigates large codebases, coordinates changes across files, runs and verifies code, and iterates on results for repository-level and visual development.
  • Long-Horizon Agentic Execution: Capable of performing tasks requiring repeated tool calls, execution, verification, and revision, utilizing its long-context understanding throughout the process.
  • Professional Knowledge Work: Combines research, multimodal understanding, and tool use to analyze extensive documents, charts, screenshots, images, and video, producing structured reports and analyses.
  • Focus on Finance: Demonstrates particular strength in financial tasks, integrating quantitative reasoning with the analysis of financial data and supporting documents.

Good for

  • Developing and maintaining complex software projects.
  • Automating multi-step tasks that require continuous interaction and adaptation.
  • In-depth analysis of diverse professional documents and data, including financial reports.
  • Applications requiring advanced reasoning and tool-use capabilities over very long contexts.
