About Auto Model

Auto Model is a smart model routing system that automatically selects the optimal AI model based on what you're doing. Pick a tier — Frontier for maximum capability, Balanced for strong performance at lower cost, or Free for the best free models — and let the system handle the rest. It detects your current mode and routes to the best model for that task, using stronger reasoning models for planning and faster models for implementation.
