When using your own OpenAI API key with Claygent, the default model is GPT-3.5. [1]
Yes, you can change the model! In the Claygent settings, there's a Model dropdown where you can select different options including GPT-3.5 (cheapest), GPT-4 Turbo, and Claude models.
Keep in mind that GPT-4 Turbo and Claude are 20x more expensive than GPT-3.5, so stick with GPT-3.5 for the most cost-effective option. You can also try Claude Haiku as another cost-effective alternative. [2]

No, that's not correct. When using your own OpenAI API key with Claygent, you can select from multiple models in the dropdown, not just o4. [1]
The available models include GPT-3.5 (the cheapest option), GPT-4 Turbo, and Claude models. You can choose whichever model works best for your needs and budget. [2]
Note that to use Claygent with an OpenAI API key, you'll need Tier 2 or higher access (≥450,000 TPM). [3]

To select a different model when using Claygent with your OpenAI API key:
1.
Click Add column → Use AI [1]
2.
Select Web research as the use case
3.
In the Model dropdown, choose your preferred model (GPT-3.5, GPT-4 Turbo, Claude models, etc.) [2] [3]
You can also click Compare models to see detailed information about each option.
Remember: GPT-3.5 is the cheapest option, while GPT-4 Turbo and Claude models are 20x more expensive.
