We've switched to `gpt-realtime-1.5` for our internal use cases but aren't officially defaulting to it yet. Very happy with Sonnet 4.6, it may overtake Opus for some of our everyday use cases.\n\n## Model Assignments\n\n| Use | Models (by preference) | Parameters | Notes |\n|-----|----------------------|------------|-------|\n| CS/Math Hard Problems | `gpt-5.3-codex` | default | |\n| Image comprehension | `gemini-3-flash-preview` | default | |\n| Frontend Aesthetics | `opus-4.6` | default | |\n| Frontend Architecture | `gpt-5.3-codex` | default | |\n| Architectural Critique | `gpt-5.2` | extra high | |\n| Sprint Planning | `consensus(opus-4.6, gpt-5.2)` | high / extra high | |\n| Devops Tasks | `opus-4.6` | default | |\n| QA Orchestration | `opus-4.6` | default | |\n| Security review | `gpt-5.3-codex` | high | |\n| Bulk classification | Any | default | Go up cost and strength as needed |\n| Bulk MapReduce | Any | default | Go up cost and strength as needed |\n| UX Ideation | `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` | default | Nano Banana Pro |\n| Agentic dialogues | `gemini-3-flash-preview` | default | General message handling loops with user interaction and limited tool calling |\n| Voice (interactive) | `gpt-realtime-1.5` | default | Internal use; not yet an official default |\n\n*Consensus operator refers to an LLM merge of the points from independent plans.*\n\n## Change Log\n\n### February 23rd, 2026\nNo specific changes in defaults, but please note for anyone evaluating Gemini 3.1, the `gemini-3.1-pro-preview-customtools` may significantly outperform `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` depending on your harness. We've switched to `gpt-realtime-1.5` for our internal use cases but aren't officially defaulting to it yet. Very happy with Sonnet 4.6, it may overtake Opus for some of our everyday use cases.\n\n### February 13th, 2026\nHappy with `gpt-5.3-codex-spark`. `gpt-5.3-codex` continues to be our preferred default implementation model with critiques and suggestions from Opus. Modified: Sprint Planning. Added: UX Ideation, Agentic dialogues, Voice (interactive).\n\n### February 6th, 2026\nNew models this week. We're very happy with `gpt-5.3-codex`. No problems with Opus 4.6 so far.\n",
