How to do it

  1. 1

    Send /model

    Type /model in chat. Shmooz shows available models: GPT-5, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, Claude (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus), Gemini, Flux Klein, and Auto.

  2. 2

    Pick a model

    Tap your choice or type the model name. Your selection stays active until you change it again.

  3. 3

    Use Auto for everyday chat

    Auto mode routes each message to the best model automatically — great when you're not sure which to pick.

Pro tips

  • GPT-5 — best for complex reasoning and coding.
  • Claude Sonnet — excellent for long-form writing.
  • Flux Klein — switch to this for AI image generation.
