Super fast and usually free. Perfect for quick summaries or easy questions, like brainstorming 10 essay topics.

Fast & Lightweight Models (These are models like Gemini Flash or ChatGPT Mini.)

Your everyday go-to. Smart enough to easily handle the bulk of your daily work, like drafting a research paper. It hits the perfect sweet spot between intelligence and speed.

Flagship Models (These are models like ChatGPT-4o and Claude 3.5.)

These models will actually pause and double-check their own math before answering. Perfect for untangling difficult physics problems.

Thinking Models (These are designed to fix their own mistakes before they type a single word back to you.)

Smart but very slow. You only use these for your absolute hardest problems when you need raw, brute-force intelligence and have hours to wait.

Extended Thinking Models (Think of an autonomous researcher reading 20 papers for you over a long time.)

Tools trained to do exactly one highly specific task perfectly, like searching the actual internet for credible sources without hallucinating.

Purpose-Built Models (These specialists are laser-focused on one job, unlike flagship models.)

They can read text, analyze photos, listen to audio, and talk back all at once. Perfect for snapping a photo of a math graph or having a voice conversation.

Multimodal Models (Because the real world isn't just text on a screen, they can see, hear, and speak.)

Step 01 of the 2-Step Study Framework. To avoid the AI guessing from memory and hallucinating facts, what type of model should you use first to gather real sources?

Purpose-Built Search AI (You need a tool like Perplexity that searches the actual internet first.)

Step 02 of the 2-Step Study Framework. Once you have the verified facts, you hand them over to this type of model to actually learn them, acting like a real, patient tutor.

Multimodal AI (You use this so you can snap a photo of a worksheet or use Voice Mode to talk through it.)

Think of this as the AI's short-term memory. It's the total amount of conversation history the AI can remember at one time.

Context Window (If you keep everything inside one app, you keep this perfectly safe.)
