Choosing the right model

In your Agent configuration, you can select from models made available by your organization through CARTO AI settings.

Model recommendations

Models generally fall into two categories:

  • Opus/Pro models (e.g., claude-opus-4.5, gemini-3-pro, gpt-5): Most capable, best for complex geospatial reasoning, SQL generation, and high-accuracy insights. Higher cost and latency.

  • Sonnet/Flash/Mini/Haiku models (e.g., claude-sonnet-4.5, gemini-3-flash, gpt-5-mini, claude-haiku-4.5): Faster and more cost-efficient. Good for simpler queries and high-volume interactions.

If the same model is available through multiple cloud providers, choose based on your data residency requirements.
