Every agent decision is powered by an AI language model. You can switch models at any time from Modify Agent — the change takes effect on the next run. All models run privately through Venice AI. Your prompts, strategies, and trade data are never used to train any model.

Model Comparison

Choosing a Model

Start with Claude Opus 4.8 — the recommended default, with an excellent balance of nuanced reasoning and cost. Reach for Fable 5 when a strategy is unusually demanding and you want the most capable model available; drop to Sonnet 4.6 when you want speed and efficiency. Step up to a flagship (Opus 4.8 / Fable 5) if:
  • Your strategy requires nuanced judgment across many signals simultaneously
  • You run at lower frequency (4h+) and credit cost per run matters less
  • Your backtests show the strategy benefits from deeper reasoning
Step down to Grok Fast or DeepSeek Flash if:
  • You run at high frequency (15 min or 30 min) and want to preserve credits
  • Your strategy is mostly rule-based with clear numeric thresholds
  • You’re in testing mode and don’t need top-tier performance yet

Chat Models

The model powering your agent chat is independent of your trading model. You can switch it per-session from the model picker in the chat header. Your chat model selection is saved and remembered across sessions.
Use a cheaper chat model for quick questions (“what positions are you holding?”) and switch to Sonnet or Opus when you want a serious strategy review.
