# 2. Language Model

The Language Model (LLM) is the foundation of the AI Builder. It is the "**brain**" that drives how the character or agent behaves and performs tasks.&#x20;

You can select any LLM of your choice from the 20+ available models.

### Available Language Models

There are two types of AI Models available in AI builder.&#x20;

1. **Skillful Models**

These models are advanced and **capable of using strategies, tools/skills, and memory** to perform complex tasks.&#x20;

Purpose: Ideal for niche tasks or multi-step problem-solving where the model must go beyond basic interactions, such as web scarping or fetching specific data from an API.

Example Use Case: A financial advisor bot connected to real-time stock market data and user financial records to provide personalized investment advice.

**Currently available Skillful Models (LLM) :**&#x20;

* GPT o3 Mini
* GPT-4
* GPT-4o
* GPT-4o Mini
* Gemini-2.0-flash-exp
* Gemini-2.0-flash
* Gemini-1.5-pro
* Gemini-1.5-pro-latest

2. **Basic Models**

These models are **limited to text-based interactions and lack the ability to use external tools or retain memory.**

Purpose: Best for simple conversational tasks like FAQs or chats.

**Currently available Basic Models (LLM):**&#x20;

* Claude 3 Opus
* Claude 3 Sonnet
* Claude 3 Haiku
* Claude 3.5 Sonnet
* DeepSeek: R1
* Nillion: DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B
* Nillion: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
* Llama 3.3 70B Instruct (Meta)
* Llama 3.1 Sonar 70B Online (Perplexity)
* Mistral Large
* Gemini-1.5-flash-latest

**How LLMs Work Within AI Builder?**

The LLM processes the character template, including:

* Who the character is: Defined in the persona, including backstory and personality.
* Context of character: Detailed in the scenario for context-specific actions.
* Example dialogues: Provide structure to ensure the character responds consistently.

*Note*: Basic AI models may evolve in the future to support additional functionalities such as ability to use skills.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://skillful-ai.gitbook.io/skillful-ai-public-docs/skillfulai_docs_v1.0/product-suite/ai-builder/2.-language-model.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
