Choose how much thought a turn gets

Before you send, the composer has a model menu — labelled How much thought this turn gets. It sets which model answers this turn; you can change it on every message.

Option Runs Use it for
Fast On our own hardware Quick answers, short look-ups.
Balanced On our own hardware The default — most questions.
Deep · external May call an external model Hard reasoning, long analysis.
Code · external May call an external model Writing or explaining code.
Translate · external May call an external model Translation.

Fast and Balanced run on our own hardware. Deep, Code and Translate may send your prompt to an external model — and everything that leaves is screened first. Choose a local option when the content must not leave the perimeter.

  1. Open or start a conversation.
  2. In the composer, open the model menu (it shows Balanced by default) and pick Fast, Balanced, Deep · external, Code · external or Translate · external.
  3. Type your question and select Send (Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a line, ↑ recalls an earlier prompt).
