Default models

Set the company default chat model and the default embeddings model, and what each one is used for.

For: Administrators (the admin ability); everyone can see the current defaults · Last updated

Below the provider table, the Model Providers page has two panels. Each holds one choice for the whole company.

Company default model#

The Company default model pre-selects the model step when someone hires a new Coworker. It also backs the platform's own background work that runs outside any single Coworker's model choice: job description parsing, summarization and synthesis.

Company default embeddings model#

The Company default embeddings model backs knowledge base embedding. Only models that the provider reports as embedding-capable are offered.

A knowledge base records the embedding model it was created with. Changing this default does not change existing knowledge bases.

Set a default#

You need the admin ability. Other people see the current choice as read-only text, or "No default model set." / "No default embeddings model set."

  1. In the panel, open the model picker. It lists models from active providers only, each with its provider's name.
  2. Choose a model.
  3. Select Set default. A "✓ Saved" note confirms it.

If there is nothing to choose from, the panel says "Add a provider above before setting a default." (for embeddings: "Add a provider with an embedding-capable model above before setting a default."). Everyone sees this message, not only administrators.

To remove a default, choose None ("clear the default") and select Clear default. You must clear a default before you can deactivate or remove the provider behind it.

Context-window checks#

  • If the product cannot confirm a chat model's context window, a warning reads "We can't confirm this model's context window — it may not support long conversations." You can still set it.
  • If a chat model's context window is too small, the panel shows "This model's context window is too small to support reliable Coworker conversations" and Set default is unavailable. Choose another model.
  • Embedding models are not checked against the conversation context-window minimum. If an embedding model's context window cannot be confirmed, the warning reads "We can't confirm this model's context window."
