+* **Auto** intelligently chooses models based on real time system health and model performance, reducing rate limiting and providing lower latency and errors.
 * **Opus 4.5** is ideal for tasks requiring deep reasoning, complex system design, subtle bug investigation, or extensive context understanding.
 * **Switch to Sonnet 4.5** for routine tasks where speed and cost efficiency matter—it handles the majority of everyday coding effectively.
 * **Use Codex** for high-volume code generation and as a second opinion for reviewing code produced by other models.
