OverControl currently provides two API models: gamma-2-fast and gamma-2-max. Use this page to understand which model to choose, how context length works, and what model ID to enter when configuring an external tool.
Both available API models support a context window of up to 248k tokens.

​
Available models

gamma-2-fast

Best for fast responses, everyday tasks, coding assistance, summaries, and lightweight reasoning.

gamma-2-max

Best for complex reasoning, long-context work, deeper analysis, and demanding coding workflows.

​
Model comparison

Model IDBest forUse when
gamma-2-fastSpeed and responsivenessYou want quick answers, lower latency, or a strong default model for everyday work.
gamma-2-maxDepth and stronger reasoningYou need more careful analysis, complex planning, or better handling of demanding context.
Start with gamma-2-fast for most workflows. Use gamma-2-max when the task requires deeper reasoning or more careful analysis.

​
Context window

Both models support up to 248k tokens of context. The context window is the amount of information the model can consider at once. It may include your current prompt, previous messages, tool context, pasted content, and the response being generated. A larger context window is useful when working with:
  • long conversations;
  • large documents;
  • extended coding sessions;
  • detailed technical instructions;
  • multiple related files or references.
Large context helps, but it does not replace clear instructions. Include only the information needed for the task whenever possible.

​
Choosing the right model

Choose the model based on the complexity of the task.
Use gamma-2-fast when you want a responsive model for everyday work, quick coding help, short summaries, rewriting, simple explanations, or integration testing.
Use gamma-2-max when the task needs deeper reasoning, long-context analysis, multi-step planning, complex debugging, architecture review, or dense document understanding.

​
Model IDs

When configuring an integration, copy the model ID exactly. 
gamma-2-fast
gamma-2-max
Some external tools may call this field Model, Model ID, Model name, or Custom model.
If a tool says the model cannot be found, check the spelling, hyphens, capitalization, API key, Base URL, and plan access.

​
Using models in integrations

Most supported integrations require the same basic values:
FieldWhat to enter
ProviderSelect an OpenAI-compatible or custom provider option when available.
Base URLEnter the OverControl API endpoint.
API keyPaste your OverControl API key.
Model IDEnter either gamma-2-fast or gamma-2-max.
