Help center›Choose your models

Switch models

You can switch models at any time, even in the middle of a conversation. This guide shows how, what the conversation keeps, and how to set the model of new conversations and of each action.

Switch during a conversation

Open the picker, by clicking the model’s name at the top of the conversation, and choose another one. The next message goes to it, with the whole conversation: it picks up the thread.

The choice is kept with the conversation: reopen it tomorrow, and you find this model again. Files already attached come along, sent again to the new provider if needed.

Your favorites

The star , at the end of each model, adds it to your favorites: from the first one on, a “Favorites” tab gathers them, across providers.

Favorites are the same in the window and in Aureole’s bar.

Advanced settings

At the bottom of the picker, “Advanced settings” adjusts the current model:

• “Temperature”: from “Predictable” to “Creative”; 0.7 at first;
• “Token Limit”: the maximum length of an answer;
• “Reasoning Effort Level”, for a model that thinks: more effort for difficult problems, less to go fast and spend less;
• depending on the model, other settings, like the “Verbosity” of GPT models.

These settings apply to the conversation, and are kept with it. When you switch models, they adjust to what the new one accepts.

The model of new conversations

In Settings›General, the “Default LLM Configuration” section chooses the “Provider” and the “Model” of every new conversation:

This model is also used by actions that have no other, and by new agents.

“Use last used model” instead reuses the last model chosen, for each new conversation and for actions that have no model of their own; it’s off at first.

An action’s model

An action can have its own model: a fast model to correct, a model that thinks to analyze. In Settings›Actions, choose the action, then its “Model Configuration” section:

In Aureole’s bar, the model pill, on an action’s row, also changes its model: the choice is kept for next time.

“Restore Default Settings” gives the action back the default model.
