Nova is Amazon's own model family, from the small, quick Micro up to Premier. Most of the line reads images, and the smaller ones are inexpensive.

How Nova works on Portail
Pick a Nova model from the model picker in any chat. It reads the whole conversation, including anything other models said earlier, and your Portail memory. When you want a second opinion, switch models and keep going, or turn on Council to ask several models at once.
Every plan, Free included, can use every Nova model. Plans change the size of your monthly credit allowance, not which models you can pick. Bigger models use credits faster; the cost band in the table shows roughly how fast.
