Hiveku Builder offers three AI model tiers. Each tier balances speed, capability, and cost differently so you can pick the right one for the task at hand.

​
Model tiers

TierAvailabilityModelBest for
MiniAll plans (free)Fast, lightweight modelQuick edits, simple questions, small file changes
MaxStandard and Premium plansClaude SonnetFeature development, debugging, multi-file changes
UltraPremium plan onlyClaude OpusComplex architecture, large refactors, advanced reasoning

​
Reasoning effort

Each model tier supports three reasoning effort levels:
  • Low — minimal thinking, fastest responses
  • Medium — balanced depth and speed (default)
  • High — deep analysis, slower but more thorough
Higher reasoning effort consumes more credits per message on the Max and Ultra tiers.

​
Switching models

Select your model tier from the dropdown in the chat panel toolbar. The change takes effect on the next message you send.
You can switch models mid-conversation. The AI retains the full context of your chat regardless of which model you use.

​
Credit consumption

  • Mini — free on all plans, no credit deduction
  • Max — deducts credits based on message complexity and reasoning effort
  • Ultra — deducts credits at a higher rate, reflecting the more powerful model
