๐Ÿ“„ How do I switch models?

Last updated: 07-03-2026Category: Frequently asked questions

In GUID.AI, different feature pages usually support selecting models separately. The most common way to switch models is: enter the corresponding page, click the "Model" dropdown on the page, and then select the model you want to use from the list. After switching successfully, newly submitted conversations or generation tasks will use the new model.

1. Which Pages Support Model Switching?

In the current system, the following pages usually support model switching:

  • Chat page: used for text Q&A, writing, translation, summarization, coding assistance, and more
  • Image page: used for text-to-image, reference image generation, image editing, and more
  • Video page: used for text-to-video, image-to-video, and more
  • Audio page: used for text-to-speech, dubbing, and more

Notes:

  • Model lists on different pages are independent of each other
  • The model you select on the chat page will not automatically sync to image, video, or audio pages
  • Some models appear only on specific capability pages. For example, image models do not appear in the chat model list

2. How Do I Switch Models on the Chat Page?

  1. Enter the Chat page.
  2. Find the current model name or "Please select a model" near the input area.
  3. Click the model selector to open the available model list.
  4. Select the model you want to use.
  5. Return to the input box and send a message. New questions will be answered using the model you just selected.

Recommended choices:

  • Daily Q&A: prioritize the default or recommended model
  • Faster results: choose a faster-response model
  • Lower consumption: choose a more economical model
  • Complex analysis: choose a model with stronger reasoning ability

Tips:

  • If Multi-model Collaboration is enabled, the system calls multiple models according to the collaboration configuration instead of using only a single model
  • After switching models, we recommend experiencing the difference starting from the next new message

3. How Do I Switch Models on the Image Page?

  1. Enter the AI Image page.
  2. Find Model Selection above the generation area or in the parameter area.
  3. Click the dropdown to view the image model list.
  4. After selecting the target model, fill in the prompt, upload reference images, and click Generate.

Notes:

  • Different image models may support different capabilities, such as reference images, aspect ratios, resolution, and quality parameters
  • After switching models, some parameter options on the page may change accordingly
  • If a model does not support the feature you are currently using, try switching to another model

4. How Do I Switch Models on the Video Page?

  1. Enter the AI Video page.
  2. Find the Model dropdown in the video generation form.
  3. Select the video model you want to use.
  4. Continue filling in the prompt, uploading materials, and submitting the task.

Notes:

  • Different video models may support different resolutions, aspect ratios, subtitles, audio, lip sync, and other capabilities
  • After switching models, we recommend confirming generation parameters again to avoid mismatches between parameters and model capabilities

5. How Do I Switch Models on the Audio Page?

  1. Enter the AI Audio page.
  2. Find the Select Model dropdown in the audio generation area.
  3. Click and select the audio model you need.
  4. Then select a voice, enter text, and start generating.

Notes:

  • Some voices or sound parameters are associated with the current model's capabilities
  • If a voice becomes unavailable after switching models, it is usually because the model does not support the current voice or configuration

6. Why Cannot I See Any Switchable Models?

If you do not see a model dropdown, common causes include:

  • The current page does not support manual model switching
  • The current feature exposes only one available model
  • Account permissions, plan, or available capability scope are limited
  • The current model list is still loading
  • Upstream service exceptions prevent the model list from returning normally

You can try:

  • Refreshing the page and checking again
  • Switching to pages that support model selection, such as chat, image, video, or audio
  • Checking account balance, permissions, or plan scope

7. Why Cannot Some Pages Switch Models?

This is normal system design. For example, Apps tools are usually pre-bound by operations to a fixed app + channel + model, and frontend users generally cannot freely switch models when using them. This is designed to ensure:

  • More stable results
  • Easier parameter adaptation
  • More controllable task routing
  • Simpler user operations

If you want to switch models freely, we recommend using native creation pages such as chat, image, video, and audio first.

8. What Should I Pay Attention to After Switching Models?

  • Switching only takes effect for subsequent new tasks and will not automatically rerun previously submitted tasks
  • Different models have different consumption, so check the estimated consumption or balance changes on the page before generation
  • Different models produce different effects, and the same prompt may produce very different results under different models
  • Some models have different capabilities, so parameter changes after switching are normal

Frequently Asked Questions

Question Explanation
Why do results change a lot after switching models? Different models have different styles, capabilities, speeds, and costs, so output differences are normal.
Why is the model I want not in the model list? The model may not be available on the current page, or it may not be available for the current account.
Will previous content be automatically regenerated after switching models? No. Switching affects only newly submitted requests.
Why do some parameters disappear after switching? It means the new model does not support some previous capabilities or parameter configurations.
Why cannot I switch models on the Apps page? Apps generally run with fixed bound models, and frontend users usually cannot change them manually.

One-Sentence Summary

When you want to switch models, enter the corresponding Chat / Image / Video / Audio page, find the Model dropdown, and select again. If a page has no switching entry, it usually means the feature has a fixed model bound in the system and does not support free frontend switching.
