When you would want it

Bigger models are cleverer and slower; smaller ones are quick and cheap. Most people want a big one for hard questions and a small one for everything else.

Where to find it

All Features → Model
Settings

What you get out of it

Swap lighter/heavier models per question instead of per product.
The list reflects your account - no feature-choice marketing between you and the answer.

How to use it, step by step

Open the model picker in the Assistant or in Settings.
The list shows the models your key can actually reach - not a hard-coded set.
Pick one; the next message uses it. The conversation does not restart.

Why this beats the usual way

Bundled-model editors pick the default that makes their economics work, not yours. Showing what your key can actually call and letting you choose per task keeps that decision where it belongs.
