Model Performance

Lynx AI Agent is multi-model by design. This flexibility allows you to try and switch between AI models and find the one that best suits your needs.

Choosing the right model is not always straightforward. Models can vary in feel, intelligence, alignment, reasoning abilities, and more.
That's why you, as a Lynx AI power user, are encouraged to try different AI models included in your subscription for various Splunk tasks and use cases.

AI Model Comparison

Because researching the characteristics of different AI models is extensive and time-consuming, we have compiled an opinionated list of officially supported AI models for Lynx AI Agent.
You're welcome to use it as a starting point when choosing an AI model for your use case.

Note

These ratings are opinionated and can change over time, as the state-of-the-art moves forward and more AI models are introduced across different fields of expertise.
Feel free to check back from time to time, or to conduct your own experiments with the different models.

Info

Models marked with 💡 mean they are reasoning (thinking) models.
Some models may support both reasoning and non-reasoning modes, while others may only support one.

Proprietary Models

These models are proprietary and are only available on the cloud version of Lynx AI Agent.
They don't require Splunk Cloud; they only require having an internet connection available.
