The fast tier — cheap, quick, and good enough for well-scoped work.
Best for
- Rewrites, summaries, and professional messages

- Interactive tutoring, quizzes, and study loops
Reach for it when
- The task is clear and the cost of a small error is low.
- You want a fast, iterative back-and-forth.
- You are running the same prompt at volume.
Consider another tier when
- The task needs deep, multi-step reasoning — upgrade to Pro.
- You need the model to hold a large, complex context reliably.
Prompts that pair well
