Choose an AI model - Relaticle

 Choose an AI model 
====================

Pick the model behind the assistant per conversation, or leave it on Auto and let Relaticle decide.

 Updated October 2, 2026

The model picker sits in the message box. Click it to see which AI models your workspace can use. **Auto** is the default and picks a sensible model for you; you only need this menu when you want to trade speed against depth yourself.

----------------------------------------------------

Which models appear depends on your plan and, for self-hosted installs, on what the operator has configured. On Relaticle Cloud:

| Model | Availability | Credit multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Auto | Everyone | Depends on the model chosen |
| Claude Sonnet | Everyone | 1x |
| Claude Opus | Pro | 3x |
| GPT-5 class models | Pro | 1.5x |

Models marked with an amber **Pro** badge need a Pro workspace. During the 14-day trial they unlock once the workspace holds a record of its own; until then the picker offers the models everyone can use. The multiplier scales what a message costs in credits. See [AI credits and rate limits](/help/ai-assistant/ai-credits-and-limits).

Self-hosted workspaces can also point the assistant at their own models (Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint); those appear in the same picker once configured.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Your selection is remembered in the browser you made it in and applies to the messages you send from then on. It's a per-person choice, so teammates pick their own. Switching back to **Auto** at any time is always safe.
