Model Selection Tips

Choose the right model for your use case:

• For complex tasks — Use large models (235B, V3) for coding, analysis, and complex reasoning tasks.
• For fast responses — Use small models (7B, 8B) for simple tasks requiring quick, cost-effective responses.
• Consider context length — For long conversations, choose models with larger context windows (128K+ tokens).
