Runtime

What a runtime is

Different jobs want different brains. A heavyweight model for judgment-heavy work, a fast one for high-volume triage. Runtime is set per agent, so one pod can mix both.

For example

The contract-review agent runs the strongest model; the email-labeling agent runs the fast one.

Reach for it when

• A judgment-heavy agent needs the strongest model available.
• A high-volume triage agent should be fast and cheap.
• You want one pod to mix both without compromise.

Match the brain to the job

1. In the agent editor, open the Model section.
2. Leave the pod default for most agents; pin a runtime when the job clearly wants speed or depth.
3. Revisit after watching real runs — the run history shows where quality or latency hurts.

Where it lives

The Model section in each agent’s editor.
