Powerful AI models and Search Modes
Selection of Powerful AI Models
When you need detailed answers with extensive sources, choose from Sonar (in-house model), GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5, or Gemini 3 Pro. These models deliver comprehensive responses with multiple references.
For complex analytical questions, select from Sonnet 4.5 Thinking (or o3-Pro & Claude 4.5 Opus for Max users), and Grok 4. These models excel at breaking down complicated queries that require multiple search steps.
For Advanced AI model queries, access may be limited during weeks of especially heavy usage. If your projects demand even more flexibility and volume, the Max plan unlocks virtually unlimited access to all advanced models, enhanced video tools, priority support, and early access to our newest features.
Best Mode
For quick searches, this default mode intelligently selects the most appropriate model based on your query type. “Best” mode is available without quota limits.
Research Mode
This mode automatically selects the optimal combination of models for in-depth research on complex topics, generating comprehensive reports without manual model selection.
Labs
Tackles complex projects on your behalf. Labs has access to the most advanced tools and can craft everything from reports and spreadsheets to dashboards and simple web applications.
If you'd like a detailed breakdown, this article introduces our four search modes (Best, Pro Search, Reasoning Search, and Research) and explains which powerful language models are available for each. Learn when to use specific search modes for different types of questions and how to select the right AI model for your needs.
Switching between models
You can switch between Search Modes and models in an existing Thread via the search box.
