description: "Choosing the right ChatGPT model can be simplified into a small decision tree based on whether the task needs default intelligence, coding strength, or quick/image output."

This is my decision tree for which model to use on #ChatGPT right now.

- **O**𝟯: Use by **default.
- O**𝟰-**mini-high**: Use when **coding.
- GPT** 𝟰**o**: Use for a **quick response** or to **create image**.
