Configuring AI Models
Nectir AI allows you to select different AI models for your assistants, each with unique capabilities and performance characteristics.
Selecting an AI Model
- Navigate to your Assistant’s settings
- Click on Advanced in the settings sidebar
- Choose from the available models based on your Group needs:
- GPT-4o: Latest model with enhanced capabilities and multimodal support. Excels in generating accurate, context-rich responses for healthcare, STEM, and social sciences.
- Claude 3.5: Advanced model with strong reasoning and instruction following. Shines in humanities, literature, and creative writing with its creativity and conversational flow.
Comparing Model Capabilities

|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | Excellent for complex problem-solving | Strong analytical and critical thinking |
| Content Generation | Versatile across many domains | Excels at nuanced and detailed explanations |
| Multimodal Support | Can analyze and discuss images | Can analyze and discuss images |
| Response Style | More direct and concise | More conversational and elaborative |
| Best For | Healthcare, STEM, Social Sciences | Humanities, Literature, Creative Writing |
| Strengths | Accuracy, precision, problem-solving | Creativity, nuanced thinking, interpretation |
What’s Next?
Nectir AI is evaluating additional models to add to the platform:
- Gemini: With advanced multimodal capabilities, ideal for engineering, architecture, and visual arts
- DeepSeek: Known for technical accuracy and reasoning, strong in computer science, mathematics, and data analytics
The AI model you select will affect how your Assistant processes information and generates responses. Both models are excellent for educationalapplications, with some subtle differences in response style and strengths. Testing both models with your specific content can help determine which works best for your educational needs.
Model Literacy and Future-Proofing
Introducing multiple AI models helps build AI literacy skills. By engaging with different large language models, students learn how varied models yield diverse results, preparing them for an AI-driven workforce. You may want to encourage students to:
- Compare model outputs for the same question
- Analyze different response styles and approaches
- Understand which model performs better for specific types of tasks
