Leave Model empty. Scrumptious reads the list of models your key can use and picks the newest fast, low-cost model from your provider — for example the latest Gemini Flash-Lite, GPT mini or Claude Haiku. The box shows which one: Automatic: ….

Because the choice comes from your provider’s live list (refreshed daily), it keeps up as providers release new models. Previews and experimental models are skipped.

Reading a recipe is a simple job, so small models do it well.

Choosing your own

Click in Model and start typing: the list shows every model your key can use. Pick one and click Save AI settings. Clear the box to go back to automatic.

Switching Use to a different provider resets the model to automatic.

Tip: Bigger models (e.g. Pro, Sonnet, GPT-5) cost more and are slower, and rarely read recipes better. Try automatic first.

What it costs

You pay your provider directly. A typical recipe sends a few thousand words of text and gets a short answer back. With the automatic models that’s usually well under one US cent per recipe, often a fraction of that. Long pages cost more than short ones.

Check prices on your provider’s pricing page; your provider’s dashboard shows exactly what you’ve used.

Gemini’s free tier and some OpenRouter free models can cost nothing, with rate limits.
