By default, Warp uses:

• Claude Sonnet 4 for Auto (as the base model)

  • o3 for the planning model

• Claude Sonnet 3.5 for Lite

But you can switch to other supported models, including:

• OpenAI: GPT-5, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, o4-mini, o3

  • For GPT-5 specifically, you can select between low, medium, and high reasoning modes.

• Anthropic: Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Opus 4.1, Claude Opus 4

• Google: Gemini 2.5 Pro

How to change models

• Base model: this model serves as the core engine for your Agentic Development Environment. It drives most interactions and invokes other models as necessary.

• Planning model: responsible for breaking down complex tasks into actionable steps and creating structured execution plans.

You can also select "Auto" to let Warp automatically choose the best model for your task based on factors like query type and context. There's an option in the app to show the model picker in the prompt as well. The current model that you have selected will be shown in the input.
