Model Selection

Model Selector

Select models in Qoder CN, understand Credits usage reference factors, and configure model parameters.

Qoder CN provides flexible model selection to help you balance task quality, response speed, and Credits usage. Use Auto for automatic routing or choose a specific available model.
You can also connect your own models with an API key. See Custom Models.

Reference factors compare Credits usage across models for similar tasks. They are not a fixed charge per message. Actual usage depends on the tokens used by the request and the selected model. See Credits.
Refer to the client for available models and current factors. During a promotion, the selector may show regular and discounted factors alongside an off-peak discount notice. Check the applicable promotion rules for eligibility and duration.

Configure model parameters

Click Model Management at the bottom of the selector and configure parameters in the Default category. Supported parameters and available values vary by model.

Context window

The context window determines how much context the model can use when processing a request. Adjust the slider in the model's Context window column to select a supported size.

Thinking intensity

Thinking intensity adjusts the model's reasoning depth. Open the Thinking intensity dropdown for a supported model. For example, Qwen3.8-Max offers thinking off, low, medium, and extra high. Models showing an unsupported or fixed thinking status do not offer the same adjustable options. Use the controls available for the selected model.

Save settings

Click Save settings to apply changes across tasks. A response already in progress keeps its current settings; new settings apply from the next turn. Click Cancel to discard changes.

Open model settings

In the Default category of Model Management, use Display status toggles to show or hide models in the selector. To configure your own API key, switch to Custom. See Custom Models for instructions.

FAQ

Q: Can I switch models in the same conversation?

Yes. Select another model in the input box. The new selection applies to subsequent messages.

Q: How does Auto differ from selecting a specific model?

Auto selects a suitable model according to its routing strategy. Select a specific model when you know which model you want to use.

Q: Why does my model list or reference factor differ from this page?

Available models change, and promotions can affect displayed factors. Refer to the models and factors currently shown in the client.

Q: Why is a model missing?

First check its display toggle in Model Management. If it is also absent from that list, refer to the models currently available to your account and client.

Q: How is Credits usage calculated for different models?

Credits usage depends on the tokens used by each request and the selected model. Reference factors compare estimated usage for similar tasks; they are not a fixed fee per request. See Credits.
