The two-line summary. Premium frontier models for the hardest 20% of work. Open-source for the routine 80%. Auto mode handles the routing. Want the deep dive on the open-source side? See 9 Best Open-Source AI LLMs in 2026, Ranked for Real Work.

TL;DR: Taskade Genesis lets you mix 15+ frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and leading open-source providers in a single app. Use lightweight models for cheap iterations, reasoning models for hard logic, long-context models for big documents, and value open-source models for routine high-volume steps. New frontier models are added automatically as they ship, so your apps stay current without a rebuild. One workspace, one bill, one prompt. Build an app →

  ▲  Memory       feeds the prompt
  ■  Intelligence picks the model (Auto or manual)
  ●  Execution    runs it through the gateway

Available Models

Taskade routes every step through five provider families. Pick by job, or let Auto mode choose.

How to Choose a Model

For Taskade Genesis App Building

Taskade Genesis automatically selects the best model for app generation. You can also specify a model preference in your prompt:

• Complex apps with heavy logic → Use reasoning-focused models
• Design-heavy apps → Use multimodal models that understand visual context
• Quick prototypes → Use fast generation models for rapid iteration

For AI Agents

Each AI agent can use a different model:

1. Open your agent settings
2. Select the AI model from the dropdown
3. Save — the agent now uses your chosen model

💡 Tip: Create specialized agent teams where each agent uses the model best suited for its role. A research agent might use one model while a writing agent uses another.

Why Multi-Model Matters

✓ No vendor lock-in. Switch models without switching platforms.

✓ Best tool for each job. Match the model to the task.

✓ Future-proof. New frontier models are added automatically as they ship.

✓ Clear costs. The model picker shows credit cost per option before you run.

✓ Cost optimization. Use lighter models for simple tasks, powerful models for complex ones.

Credits

AI operations consume credits based on the model used. Check your usage:

1. Go to Settings → AI Usage
2. View credit consumption by model and operation type
3. Upgrade your plan for more credits if needed
