Choosing a model: Auto and the Smart Router modes

How Orbis's Smart Router chooses a model, what Quick, Deep, Research and Coding modes do, and when to pick a model yourself.

Feature: AI AssistantAvailable

What Auto does

Auto looks at your message and the models available on this site, then chooses one and shows why under the reply. It never picks a model that isn't configured.

The four modes

Quick favours fast, low-cost models for short questions.

Deep favours models that reason more carefully, for analysis and harder problems.

Research looks for sourced answers when web search is available, and says so when it isn't.

Coding narrows the choice to models suited to programming.

When to choose a model yourself

Pick a specific model when you want consistent behaviour across a long conversation, or when you want to compare how two models handle the same prompt — Orbis Arena makes that easier.
