What's the difference between Clay's Argon, Helium, etc. Claygent models which require credits, and hooking up your own API key, besides cost? Is there a performance benefit (accuracy)?

    The main differences are:1. Speed: Using Clay-managed models (Argon, Helium, etc.) is faster than using your own API key. 2. Integration: The Clay-managed account is accessible for all models by default through the enrichment panel, making it more convenient to get started. 3. Flexibility: If you're on a paid plan, you can bring your own API key for models besides Claygent, giving you more control over usage.The choice between using Clay-managed models or your own API key mainly comes down to your preferences regarding speed versus cost, as well as whether you want more direct control over your API usage.
