AI Models
Choose the right model for each block based on your needs.
Model Selection
Every block in Deep Notebook lets you select which AI model executes your instructions. This appears as a dropdown next to the Run button — click it to see available options.
Different models excel at different tasks. Selecting the right one improves both speed and quality.
Available Models
Deep Notebook supports models from multiple providers, giving you flexibility for different use cases:
Choosing the Right Model
Use a faster model when:
- •Running simple lookups or data extractions
- •Processing high volumes quickly
- •Iterating on prompt structure and testing
- •The task has straightforward, well-defined outputs
Use a more capable model when:
- •Synthesizing information from many sources
- •Tasks require nuanced judgment or careful reasoning
- •Output quality is critical (external reports, important communications)
- •Complex multi-step reasoning chains
Model Persistence
Your model selection persists per block. If you choose one model for Block 1 and a different model for Block 2, each remembers its setting. This lets you optimize each step independently — fast extraction in early blocks, careful synthesis in later ones.
Performance & Cost Considerations
More capable models generally:
- •Provide higher quality outputs for complex tasks
- •Take longer to respond
- •Consume more resources from your plan
Faster models generally:
- •Return results quickly
- •Work well for straightforward tasks
- •Are more resource-efficient
The right choice depends on your specific workflow. Experiment with different models to find the best balance of speed, quality, and resource usage for each step.
