# Managing Models

Select, search, and favorite specific LLMs.

Once you connect a provider, you can select and favorite models using the dropdown menu or the Model Manager.

### [Selecting a Model](/content/docs/managing-models#selecting-a-model/index.html)

Click the model name dropdown at the bottom of the chat interface to switch models instantly. There are two tabs: Favorites and All. You can add or remove specific models from the Favorites list.

### [The Model Manager](/content/docs/managing-models#the-model-manager/index.html)

Click the **Models** button to open the detailed manager. Here you can see:

- **Modalities:** Icons indicating which inputs the model supports (Text, Images, Audio, or Video) and what outputs it can generate.
- **Context Window:** The maximum number of tokens (words and word pieces) the model can process in a single conversation. Larger context windows allow for longer conversations and more extensive document analysis.
- **Favorites:** Click the **Star (☆)** icon to pin a model to your quick-select list.
