description: How Organic Memory thinks about model presets today and how to separate implemented configuration from future planning.

Different jobs need different brains.
Some jobs need a tiny fast brain. Some need a stronger one.

## What this means in practice

The Organic Memory model story has two layers:

- the PRD's larger model strategy
- the current preset/config implementation visible in code

## How it actually works

Current public-safe evidence includes:

- `convex/crystal/organic/models.ts`
- `convex/crystal/organic/tick.ts`
- `docs/organic-memory/PRD-Organic-Memory.md`

`organic/models.ts` is especially useful because it shows the currently defined model presets, tier placement, prices, and labels.

The dashboard groups selectable models into five tiers:

- Potato
- Low
- Medium
- High
- Ultra

Sonnet is an Ultra-tier option, not a standalone tier. GLM 5.1 is the GLM option intended to sit beside Sonnet-class choices.

## Commands / examples

If you want the clearest technical source, inspect:

- `convex/crystal/organic/models.ts`

## Common mistakes

- treating every PRD model idea as currently implemented
- documenting old provider assumptions without checking the current preset file

## Source of truth

Primary files behind this page:

- `convex/crystal/organic/models.ts`
