# Recommended Models

A curated list of recommended open models suitable for common use cases.

## Which models should I use?

There is no single right answer! The following is a curated list based on Myrouter internal testing, community feedback, and external benchmarks. We recommend using it as a starting point and will update it regularly as new models become available.

<Note>
  * Model sizes are labeled as Small, Medium, or Large
  * For best latency, use Small or Medium models. For best quality, use Large models or fine-tune Medium or Small models.
  * You can explore all models in the Myrouter model library
