Context to provide the model. This can be a string or a free-form JSON value.

The model that is used for the final prompt after compression is performed.
Defaults to "default".

LemurModel

LeMUR Default is best at complex reasoning. It offers more nuanced responses and improved contextual comprehension.

LeMUR Basic is a simplified model optimized for speed and cost. LeMUR Basic can complete requests up to 20% faster than Default.

LeMUR Mistral 7B is an LLM self-hosted by AssemblyAI. It's the fastest and cheapest of the LLM options. We recommend it for use cases like basic summaries and factual Q&A.

Claude 2.1 is similar to Default, with key improvements: it minimizes model hallucination and system prompts, has a larger context window, and performs better in citations.
