External AI Models in Saner.AI

Saner.AI gives you access to multiple best-in-class external AI models inside a single interface. This lets you choose the right model for each task - whether you need fast answers, deep reasoning, or high-quality writing.

Supported AI Providers

Saner.AI integrates state-of-the-art foundation models from leading AI companies, including:

  • Google

  • OpenAI

  • xAI

  • Anthropic

  • DeepSeek

Each model has different strengths, such as speed, reasoning depth, creativity, or cost efficiency. By offering multiple options, Saner.AI ensures you always have access to top-tier AI capabilities for a wide range of use cases - from simple questions to complex analysis and content generation.

How to Choose an AI Model

You can switch AI models at any time while using Saner.AI.

Steps:

  1. Go to the Ask AI screen

  2. Click the model selector icon in the chat bar

  3. Select the AI model you want to use

Your selected model will be used for the current chat.

External AI Credit System

Saner.AI uses a credit system to measure and manage AI usage across different external models.

Because each AI provider has different performance characteristics and pricing, credit usage may vary depending on the model you choose. You can review model-specific pricing (per 1M tokens, roughly 750,000 words) in the External AI section of Settings.

This system gives you the flexibility to balance performance, cost, and usage based on your needs.

What Affects Credit Usage

Credit consumption depends on several factors:

1. Conversation Length

Each new message requires the AI to review the full conversation history to maintain context. Longer conversations increase computation and credit usage.

Tip: Keeping conversations short is more credit-efficient and helps reduce AI errors.

2. Message Length

Longer messages require more processing for both understanding and response generation, which increases credit usage.

Tip: Focus on clear, concise messages instead of combining many topics into one prompt.

3. Query Complexity

Questions that require deep reasoning, multi-step analysis, or rich context use more computational resources and therefore more credits.

Tip: Ask specific, well-defined questions whenever possible.

How to Use Credits More Efficiently

To reduce unnecessary credit usage:

  • Keep conversations focused on one topic

  • Avoid overly long prompts when a short one will do

  • Break complex tasks into smaller, clearer questions
