What it does

  • ultra-fast: Real-time chat, autocomplete
  • fast: Need chunks but latency matters
  • basic: General-purpose, balanced
  • advanced: Precision matters (default recommendation)
  • Keep queries under 400 characters - Think search query, not prompt
  • Break complex queries into sub-queries - Better results than one massive query
  • Use includedomains to focus on trusted sources
