Starting a Chat
Open a new chat
Section titled “Open a new chat”
Click “New Chat” in the left sidebar to start a new (empty) chat. In each chat, you can choose which of the available language models to use. In addition to a single model, you can also interact with two or more models simultaneously in a multi-model chat to compare their responses.
Select a model
Section titled “Select a model”
Click the dropdown menu showing the currently selected model to switch models. Model names include visual indicators:
- Logo (before the name): If it shows the Telekom T, the model is hosted by Telekom. These models are the most secure (PSA DSK3-compliant for confidential data). Models without the T logo are externally hosted and cannot be used for confidential or internal documents.
- Country flag (after the name): Indicates which country the model is hosted in.
- Image icon (after the flag): If the image is white, it is a multimodal model that can process images in addition to text.
Depending on your organization’s configuration, you may also have access to custom models.
