Selecting the right model

I am creating a bot to help teens with some basic job research…things like salary, outlook, required skills, etc. Which language model should I use?

You will probably be happy with almost any of the models available from Pickaxe for that project. I’m currently working on a project that is equally demanding of the LLM as what you’ve described and we are having good success from GPT-4o (mini)

As others have mentioned, most models will do the job. I would recommend GPT-4o mini. Claude is another good option.

Perhaps at one point, an enterprising user or admin will write a comparative model guide.

Thanks for taking the time to help me with a reply! Much appreciated.

Thanks Mike. I left a rather lengthy comment on your latest YouTube video. I have a bunch of questions and somewhat of a tim-crunch with an opportunity to pitch to an organization. . If there’s anyway, I could do another call with you, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hey Jay, I don’t see this comment on the Youtube videos. Mind linking it here or copy/pasting the contents of it here?

You can set a call here. We have some time available tomorrow.

No problem….

Hi, Mike. This is Jay from Life After 12th. We Zoomed last week about my career guidance work with young people and the bot I created to help with research. I secured an API key as we discussed, and I am looking to go live next week and pitch to my first organization. You really helped me out quite a bit on that call. I felt confident being able to move forward. I had a few more questions…1) I just wanted to make sure I was running the bot with the best language model. What do you recommend? 2) regarding actions… I thought it would be ideal to have a student receive an email with some of the content of the chat, but it winds up being a giant paragraph of text. Can I provide formatting instructions that will allow the email to look like a report with headings, bullet points, etc.? 3) regarding actions…I want to create a PDF file of the chat summary that could be sent to the coach’s email address so they can store it and do a follow-up. I know how to run the PDF action, so can I just have the bot let the coach know that they can provide an email address if they’d like a copy? I though I remember you saying that you can’t run two actions in a row. If there’s a better way to ask these questions, please let me know. Thanks.

I booked a call for tomorrow. Thank you.
