Venus

Six models, ten tools

Models and tools.

Everything your assistant can reach through Venus, what each one is best at, and how to ask for it. Your assistant usually chooses for you; this is what it chooses from.

Models

Venus Search models

Every answer is grounded in a live web search and comes back with its sources. Every search runs on Pro 1.

Pro 1

The only model

One model for everything, and the default.

Lookups, explanations, analysis and code.

The tools

Ten tools behind one connection

Your assistant picks the right one for each question; the mono names are what it calls. Slow work runs in the background, so your assistant can keep talking while it finishes.
