Voyager picks a model for each image, video or sound it makes, and an app for each kind of job, such as motion graphics or video editing. When you have a favorite, set it once and Voyager uses it whenever a chat doesn’t name one.
Before you start: you don’t have to choose anything. Every choice starts on Auto: Voyager picks, using your subscriptions before credits. A model you choose still needs a provider that can run it; see Choose your generation providers.

​
Choose for a chat

1

Open Preferred models and apps

In the message box, click the button just before the agent model picker (its tooltip reads Preferred creative apps and media models). It shows small media icons while everything is on Auto, and the marks of your choices once you set some.
2

Pick a model or app

Under Models, click a kind: Image, Image edit, Video, Voice, Music, Sound effects or 3D. Under Apps, click a job: Motion graphics, Video editing, Design, Slides, 3D, Music or Games. Search the list and choose one. Anything you leave alone stays on Auto.

Keep it for the project, if you like

Changes apply to this chat and your next new chat. To make them the project’s default, click Save as … default (it shows your project’s name).
The Preferred models and apps panel above the message box, with Models and Apps columns, rows set to Auto, a Choices for menu set to This chat, Reset, Save as project default and Manage in Apps & Models.The Preferred models and apps panel above the message box, with Models and Apps columns, rows set to Auto, a Choices for menu set to This chat, Reset, Save as project default and Manage in Apps & Models.

Preferred models and apps: one row per kind of model and per kind of app, with the scope at the top.

​
Choose for a project or every project

Use the menu at the top of the panel to change whose choices you’re editing: Each chat keeps its own copy of the choices it started with, so changing a project’s or the All projects defaults affects new chats, not ones you already have. Reset goes back one level: a chat goes back to its project’s choices, a project to the All projects settings, and All projects to Auto everywhere. You can name a model or app in your message at any time. That wins for that request.

​
Manage them in Apps & Models

Click Manage in Apps & Models, or open Apps & Models in the sidebar:
  • Apps & Models → Models → Default models: the model Voyager uses when a chat doesn’t name one, for All projects or a single project.
  • Apps & Models → Apps → Preferred apps: the app new chats start with, with the same scope choice.
The Apps & Models page on the Models tab, with the Default models popup open showing a row per kind of model, a scope menu set to All projects and Reset.The Apps & Models page on the Models tab, with the Default models popup open showing a row per kind of model, a scope menu set to All projects and Reset.

Apps & Models → Models, with Default models open.

To try a model on its own before you ask for it in a chat, click Try on its row in Apps & Models → Models, or Open playground at the top of the tab. See Model playground.

​
Check the result

The button in the message box shows the marks of the models and apps you chose. In the panel, a row changed only in this chat reads Changed in this chat, and a row that comes from the project reads … default with the project’s name.

​
Common problems

No provider you’ve set up can run that model yet. Connect or sign in to the provider in Apps & Models → Providers, or leave the row on Auto.
The app isn’t on this computer. Install it, or choose another app or Auto.
A new chat starts from your latest chat choices, or from its project’s or the All projects defaults if you haven’t made any. Changing a default doesn’t change chats that already exist. To change an existing chat, set it under This chat or click Reset.
