<Tip>
**Claude Opus 4.7** is the newest top-tier option for extremely complex architecture decisions or critical work where you need maximum reasoning capability—and it runs at a promotional 1× multiplier through April 30 (2× afterward). **Claude Opus 4.6** remains an excellent alternative, and **Opus 4.6 Fast** is tuned for faster responses at a higher cost. Most tasks don't require Opus-level power—start with Sonnet 4.6 or Sonnet 4.5 and escalate only if needed.

### Open-source models

- **Air-gapped environments** where external API calls aren't allowed
- **Cost-sensitive projects** needing unlimited local inference
- **Privacy requirements** where code cannot leave your infrastructure
- **Experimentation** with open-source model capabilities

**Note:** GLM-5, GLM-4.7, and MiniMax M2.5 do not support image attachments. Kimi K2.5 does support images. MiniMax M2.5 is the cheapest model available (0.12× multiplier) and uniquely supports reasoning (Low/Medium/High) among Droid Core models. For image-based workflows, use Claude, GPT, or Kimi models.
**Note:** GLM-5 and GLM-5.1 do not support image attachments. Kimi K2.5, Kimi K2.6, and MiniMax M2.7 do support images. Kimi K2.6 adds an Off/High reasoning toggle, while MiniMax M2.7 (the cheapest model available, with 0.12× multiplier) supports Low/Medium/High reasoning. For image-based workflows, use Claude, GPT, Kimi, or MiniMax M2.7.

To use open-source models, you'll need to configure them via BYOK with a local inference server (like Ollama) or a hosted provider. See [BYOK documentation](/cli/configuration/byok) for setup instructions.
