Which AI model should I use?

You choose a model by its alias. Start with default and move up only when the answers fall short.

  • default: the fast everyday model and the cheapest. Good for most questions, scripts and coding assistants.
  • large: a larger, stronger model for harder tasks. It costs several times more per token.
  • alt and alt-large: a second pair of models with a different style. alt is very cheap on repeated input, which suits long conversations and agents that resend the same text.
  • nolimits family: models with fewer refusals. nolimits follows instructions literally, and nolimits-story is tuned for fiction and creative writing.

-instant and -think

Some aliases come in two extra forms. -instant answers straight away. -think reasons at length before answering, which helps on hard problems but costs more, because reasoning counts as output.

How long can a conversation be?

Most models take about a million tokens of context. nolimits, nolimits-large and nolimits-story take 128K tokens.

The full list

Every alias, the model behind it, its prices and its context length: Models and what a request costs. Each model can also be called by its own name at the same price. Your key can list them all, with current prices:
