When to Use Premium
- Long agentic tasks that span many files.
- Complex refactors and architecture work.
- Hard reasoning problems where quality matters more than speed or cost.

If you want a specific model rather than letting Premium pick, see Models for the full list of models available on paid plans.Premium routing is opaque on purpose: the underlying model may change as new flagship models ship. If you need a specific model, pick it directly from the selector.
