Models

Admins set this on the Models page under Controls at app.dataleap.ai/admin. Only Admins can open it. Members pick from what you allow. The page has two jobs: what Basic, Pro, and Expert mean in your workspace, and which models members can choose.

​

Presets

Most people pick a preset, not a specific model. When the Always use Dataleap’s recommended models setting below is off, you choose which model and Reasoning Level power each preset. The available levels depend on the model. When a model supports more than one, choose from Minimal, Low, Medium, High, Extra high, or Max. A Customized badge appears when a preset no longer uses Dataleap’s default. Use default puts it back. With that setting off, a preset change applies to agents created after you save it. An existing agent stays on its preset and keeps the model and Reasoning Level it had when it was created. Picking a different preset on an existing agent gives you that preset as it was when the agent was created, not the model you just saved. To move an existing agent to another model, open its model selector, choose Customize, and pick the model. You can’t turn off a model that currently powers a preset. Change the preset first.

​

Always use Dataleap’s recommended models

Above the presets is a checkbox, Always use Dataleap’s recommended models. It decides whether Dataleap or you pick the models behind Basic, Pro, and Expert. While it’s on:

• Each preset uses the model and Reasoning Level Dataleap recommends. The preset pickers are locked. To choose your own models, turn the setting off.
• When Dataleap changes a recommendation, agents and sub-agents on that preset move to the new model, including archived agents. Your organization’s admins get an email listing what moved.
• Agents set to a specific model through Customize stay on it.

Turning it on resets every customized preset to Dataleap’s recommendation. When you save, agents on each preset that still run an older model move to the recommended one. A review lists the presets that reset and the agents that move before you confirm. When agents move, the confirm button reads Save and move agents. Turning it off moves no agents. Each preset keeps its current model until you change it.

​

Model access

Model Access is the list of models members can use. Turn a model on or off with its switch. Enabled models appear when someone opens Customize in the model selector. Disabled models do not. If you disable a model agents already use, their future runs may be blocked until someone changes that agent’s model. Save from the bar at the bottom. Dataleap asks you to review first whenever you change a preset, or turn off a model that agents already use.

​

When Dataleap retires a model

Sometimes Dataleap stops supporting a model, for example when its provider stops serving it. Agents on that model don’t break. On a set switch date, Dataleap moves them to a successor model for you.

​

Before the switch date

• The model shows a Retiring badge in Model Access. Hover it to see the switch date and the successor.
• Nobody can newly pick the model. It disappears from Customize for new choices, you can’t turn it on if it’s off, and you can’t choose it for a preset.
• Agents already on the model keep running on it until the switch.
• The owners of affected agents and your organization’s admins get an email with the switch date and the successor. There’s nothing they need to do.

​

On the switch date

• Every agent and sub-agent on the model moves to the successor. An agent on a preset stays on that preset.
• Each one keeps its Reasoning Level if the successor has it. If not, it runs at the nearest level the successor supports.
• Presets that used the model move to the successor too.
• In Model Access, the successor is turned on and the retiring model is turned off.

​

Choose a different successor

When a retirement is scheduled, a Scheduled retirements section appears between the presets and Model Access. Each row shows the retiring model, its switch date, and how many agents use it. The Successor menu starts on Dataleap’s choice, marked Recommended. To move your organization’s agents somewhere else, pick another model. Your choice saves right away and isn’t part of Save changes. Reset goes back to Dataleap’s recommendation. You can change the successor until the switch date. After the switch, the row shows where agents moved. Earlier retirements are listed under Past retirements.

​

What members see

In chat, Workflow, and a sub-agent’s Tools tab, people pick Basic, Pro, or Expert — or Customize to choose a specific enabled model and its Reasoning Level. Which models appear under Customize is the list you enable here. Dataleap does not publish a fixed catalog in these docs; the list changes as models are added or retired. Setup conversations can’t use the Basic preset. Building stays on Pro or Expert, or on a custom model. Some presets depend on your plan. Expert needs a paid plan. Models you enable under Customize are available to members on every plan. When to raise or lower a preset is covered on Sub-agents & model tiers.
