# Model Selection

QoderWork includes multiple world-class AI models with a flexible selection mechanism that helps you find the best balance between efficiency, quality, and cost.

## How to Switch

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the model selector">
    Next to the conversation input box, click the model dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a model">
    Select Premium, Advanced, Standard, Qwen3.7-Max, or Qwen3.7-Plus.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Immediate effect">
    Your selection takes effect immediately. The new model applies to all subsequent messages in the current session. No need to start a new session.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Switching Mid-Task

You can switch models at any point during a task. For example:

1. Start with Standard for the initial data-gathering steps
2. Switch to Premium when you reach the deep analysis phase
3. Switch back to Standard for final formatting and output

Switching models doesn't lose context — the AI continues right where it left off.

## Credits Consumption & Management

Different models consume Credits at different rates. Click the usage icon (⏱) in the top-right corner of the app, then click **View usage overview** to see your balance and breakdown.

<Tip>
  Try running a complete workflow first to understand the cost. For regularly running [Scheduled Tasks](/qoderwork/scheduled-tasks), this step is especially important — it helps you estimate daily/weekly Credits consumption.
</Tip>

When your Credits balance is low:

* Purchase additional Credits in your account settings
* Switch to Advanced or Standard to reduce consumption
* See the [Pricing](/account/pricing) page for details
