Raycast AI - Which models are you using?

Raycast keeps adding new models every week.

I use @Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet when coding and @OpenAI's o3-mini when speed matters. Curious what works best for the community.
What model are you using and why?

Building DockFlow wouldn't have been the same without Raycast. From quick shortcuts to running scripts in a flash – Raycast kept my workflow laser-focused. If you're a builder who values speed + minimalism, Raycast is a no-brainer. Thank you for making such a powerful tool 🙌

I love Raycast. I use command palettes on most apps, so having a more powerful one than the traditional Spotlight is great. I really appreciate the speed at which the team is moving, too. I always see new releases which are exciting.

I've been using Raycast as my MacOS launcher for years now, and it's become an integral part of my setup. I have written two custom extensions for my personal use cases, and the developer API is absolutely incredible and easy to use — and the community is super helpful! 11/10 would not use anything else ever again 👏

This is like a modern Alfred meets the Apple App store. Easy to use with onboarding that encourages a good setup while you learn. The best part is the Store with lots of community actions connecting to all things new.

I've been using Raycast for months and it's by far one of my favorite apps. The product and the team behind it are fantastic. I set up my new MacBook this week and guess which app I have installed first? 🙈

I never thought I would leave Alfred for Mac until I met Raycast.
