AI 401: The Model & Tool Compatibility Matrix
Recognize which models support vision, search, code execution, reasoning, file types, and API access
A model's true power is often determined by its "toolbelt." However, not all models can use the same tools, and their level of integration varies significantly. Recognizing which capabilities are supported by which model family is a crucial skill for selecting the right architecture for a complex task.
