Memo Agent can offer different AI model options depending on your plan and product configuration. Model choice can affect speed, quality, and energy usage.

## Where to choose models

Open Memo Agent in a notebook and use the model selector when it is available. Some accounts may see different options depending on plan, rollout, or configuration.

## How model choice affects usage

- Some models are faster and more efficient for everyday questions.

- Some models are better for deeper reasoning or longer source analysis.

- Different models can draw different amounts from your shared energy balance.

## Where to see live costs

## Tips

- Use a stronger model when you need deeper synthesis, debugging, or careful reasoning.
