Switching models
How do I compare models on the same question, and what does the picker show?
Checked against the code on
The point of one balance is that trying another model costs nothing extra. In the workspace the model is a picker above the conversation; switch it and the next turn goes to the new model with the same history.
What the picker shows
- The name, the provider, and what one typical turn costs (1,000 tokens in, 500 out), so a cheap model and an expensive one are comparable at a glance.
- Sorted cheapest first. The popular models are marked.
- Only models that can run. Video models are in the video door, audio and embedding models are not offered, and a model whose provider is refusing to serve it is left out.
