Models

Choose and compare AI models to find the best fit for each Pickaxe.


There are a ton of LLM models out there, and with Pickaxe you have access to all of them. You can easily switch between models at any time to find the best fit for each Pickaxe — no need to rebuild your system every time a new model is released.

Picking the right model can make a big difference. Some models are cheaper, some are smarter, and some are better suited for actions. The best choice depends on your specific use case, and Pickaxe makes it easy to experiment.
