- Let each mentor use the language model best suited to its subject.
  - **Math mentor**: choose a model optimized for symbolic reasoning and step-by-step solutions.
  - **English composition mentor**: switch to a model fine-tuned on rhetoric or literary analysis.
- Improves clarity, accuracy, and learning outcomes within each domain.
- Future-proofs your mentors as specialized models continue to appear.


## Two Ways to Open the LLM Selector

### Click the Model Name

- In the mentor card, click the current LLM’s name.
- The list of all LLM providers appears.


### Use the Mentor Dropdown

- Click the mentor’s name.
- Select **LLM** from the dropdown menu.
- You land on the same provider list.


## Choose a Provider and Model

- Click a provider (for example, OpenAI or Google).
- A list of that provider’s models is displayed.
- Select the model you want—e.g., `o1-preview`.
- A **“Successfully changed”** notification confirms the switch.
- Repeat anytime to pick another provider or model.


## Adding New or Custom Models

- If a provider or model isn’t visible, it can be added to the platform quickly.
- mentorAI stays current by implementing new models as soon as they are released.


## Final Step: API Keys (If Required)

- Some models may need you to supply your own LLM keys.
- Enter the keys when prompted; afterward, the mentor will run on the chosen model.


That’s all it takes—select, confirm, and your mentor is now powered by the model that best fits its subject.
