AUTOMATIC MODEL SELECTION
The right model for each part of the task.
You choose the work. Fee chooses a suitable model for each step from the approved providers currently available, then records what actually ran in the task report.
| Step | Job | How Fee chooses |
|---|---|---|
| Plan | Understand the project, plan the task and review the approach | Uses the strongest suitable reasoning option currently available for the account and task. |
| Edit | Careful changes and focused fixes | Prioritises accuracy when a small mistake could have a large effect. |
| Build | Implementation, test loops and repeated work | Uses efficient models for routine work so pricing remains predictable. |
| Reserve capacity | Continue when plan capacity runs low | May use available reserve capacity. If none is available, Fee pauses and explains why instead of creating an unexpected charge. |
The task comes first. Fee chooses based on the task, your plan, current availability and provider health, not on marketing names.
The task report shows what happened. Each completed task records the step, provider and model when available, token use, any fallback and remaining capacity.
Available providers can change. During the beta, model availability can change. The status page, changelog and task reports show the current reality.
One connection. Cursor, Claude Code, Aider, OpenCode and OpenAI-compatible tools can all connect to Fee without being tied to one provider.
What the task report records
Model and provider. The exact model used for each step, when the provider makes that information available.
+Fallbacks. Whether Fee changed model or provider to keep the task moving.
+Token use and cost. The measured usage and cost for the completed work.
+Remaining capacity. How much of the plan remains after the task.
+The promise.
Fee does not promise a fixed list of models. It promises considered model selection, visible fallback behaviour and a task report that names what actually ran.
During the private beta, providers may change as capacity, evaluations and service health change. The task report is therefore the source of truth for completed work.
