What model do you recommend

Recommended default: anthropic/claude-opus-4-5.
Good alternative: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5.
Reliable (less character): openai/gpt-5.2 - nearly as good as Opus, just less personality.
Budget: zai/glm-4.7.
MiniMax M2.1 has its own docs: MiniMax and Local models.
Rule of thumb: use the best model you can afford for high-stakes work, and a cheaper model for routine chat or summaries. You can route models per agent and use sub-agents to parallelize long tasks (each sub-agent consumes tokens). See Models and Sub-agents.
Strong warning: weaker/over-quantized models are more vulnerable to prompt injection and unsafe behavior. See Security.
