AI Models Types

Model tiers are one thing, but model types are another beast entirely.

Standard Models

  • Fast, efficient responses
  • Great for everyday teaching tasks
  • Handle most lesson planning, explanations, and content creation

Reasoning/Thinking Models

  • Take longer to respond but work through problems more carefully
  • Better for complex mathematics, detailed analysis, or multi-step problem solving
  • Look for terms like "advanced," "pro," "reasoning," or "thinking" modes
  • Useful when you need the AI to show its working or handle intricate tasks

Specialised Models

Some platforms offer models trained specifically for:

  • Creative writing and storytelling
  • Research and analysis
  • Image generation and visual content
