Choosing a model
Not sure which to use? Stay on the default and DinoAI works well for almost everything. This table shows where to start for common analytics engineering tasks and when you might switch.Available models
The lineup evolves as providers release and retire models; the model picker always shows the current list and the live credit rate for each model.
Defaults
You don’t have to pick a model to use DinoAI. Out of the box, GPT-5.6 Terra handles copilot sessions where you haven’t chosen a model, with separate models doing the subagent and planning work inside a session. Defaults are set per workspace and change as the lineup evolves, so the model picker is the source of truth for what a new session will use. For Programmable Agents you can go further and pin an agent to a model family, a named set covering the main agent, its subagents, and planning. See Creating agents in the app.Related
