What are Models

AI Models

AI models are pre-trained systems designed to understand and generate content. Depending on the model, they can work with text, images, files, and other types of input.

Each model has been trained on large datasets to recognize patterns, understand context, and respond to prompts. While all models work in a similar way, their capabilities, speed, and usage rates can vary.


Choosing a model

BuiltChat offers a range of models, each with its own strengths. Some are designed for quick, everyday tasks, while others are better suited to complex reasoning, detailed writing, coding, or working with images and files.

The model selector includes a breakdown of each model's capabilities to help you choose the one that best fits your task. If you are unsure, start with a general-purpose model and switch when you need a different balance of speed and intelligence.

Speed, intelligence, and usage

More capable models generally use more of your usage allowance, while faster and lighter models generally use less. For simple questions, summaries, or quick edits, a faster model may be all you need.

For tasks that require deeper reasoning, careful analysis, or more reliable instruction-following, a smarter model may produce better results. The best choice depends on the complexity of your task and how quickly you need a response.


Switching between models

Most models in BuiltChat are capable of handling a wide range of everyday tasks. Try a few to see which model works best for your preferred style and workflow.

You can switch models whenever your needs change. For example, you might use a fast model to explore ideas, then move to a more capable model for the final analysis or response.


In the next section, we explain how usage works and how to manage it effectively so you can get the most out of BuiltChat.
