Supported models​

Retool requires a tightly-scoped set of models in order for agentic app building to be reliable. Effort levels for each model are set to high.

The following models are supported for building apps because they support streaming, tool calls, reasoning and thinking, and multimodal inputs.

Retool Mini and Retool Power are open-source models that Retool provides for building apps on the Free plan and Team plan. They require no AI resource configuration and are in public beta.
