◆ The Alpha AI models
Alpha AI models
lead”>Alpha AI is being built around the planned Alpha model family. Two core models are planned, one for chat with sources and one for images, alongside specialist models that each focus on one kind of work. Alpha will route tasks to specialized models, some built on open-source foundations. None of these models are available yet. At launch, the plan is that you’ll pick them from the model menu in the chat.Core Alpha AI models
Alpha 0.5 Planned default
Best for facts, news and anything current
The planned default model for chat. It’s designed to look up live sources while it answers and show where its facts come from, so you can check them yourself. A more capable version, Alpha 1.0, is also planned.
Alpha Image
Best for pictures
The planned image model. The goal: describe a picture in a sentence and Alpha Image draws it, in square, portrait or wide, expanding short descriptions so results come out detailed.
Specialist models
Alpha Reason Planned
Best for math, logic, science and tricky questions
Designed to work through a problem step by step before it answers, for calculations, proofs, puzzles and questions that need careful thinking.
Alpha Swift Planned
Best for quick everyday questions
Planned for speed: short, clear answers for quick questions and fast back-and-forth.
Alpha Plus Planned
Best for writing, analysis and many languages
Planned as an all-rounder for drafting and editing, summarizing and comparing, in many languages.
Alpha Pro Planned
Best for long, detailed answers
Planned for thorough, well-structured answers, from reports and explainers to step-by-step guides.
Alpha Code Planned
Best for programming
Planned for programming: writing, explaining, reviewing and fixing code from a description of what you need.
Alpha Mini Planned
Best for short replies and simple tasks
Planned as a light, quick model for short replies, rewording and simple tasks.
Alpha Lingo Planned
Best for translation
Planned for translation, and for answering in whatever language you write in.
Alpha Arabic Planned
Best for Arabic
