Interfaze: New Model Architecture Beats Gemini-3-Flash and GPT-5.4-Mini on Deterministic Tasks
Interfaze is a new model architecture from Interfaze that merges task-specific DNN/CNN models with omni-transformers, targeting high-accuracy deterministic tasks at scale. It offers a 1M token context window, 32k max output tokens, and supports text, images, audio, and file inputs with optional reasoning.
