Model choices are simple on the surface: - Instant AI: fast and private for quick help - Private AI: better everyday answers after download - Smart AI: stronger optional local model for newer Macs - Ultra AI: the most capable optional local model for larger devices Advanced users can still open settings for technical details, local endpoint testing, and developer diagnostics.
