 ## Recommended models
 
-Bandit auto-detects each model's capabilities and takes the native tool-calling
-path when supported. All four cloud models emit native tool calls reliably —
-that is not what separates them.
+Bandit uses native tool calling when supported by the selected provider.

-| `bandit-logic-2` | **Start here.** Fastest (1.3–1.7s warm, and steady under concurrent load), 256K context, and the model that handled a one-prompt "write a PDF with a diagram" end to end. Frontier coding model.             |
-| `bandit-core-2`  | Highest score on our 26-fixture agent eval (20/26 vs 19/26), but roughly 3× the wall time for the same suite. Reach for it when quality matters more than latency. 256K context.                             |
-| `bandit-logic`   | Self-hosted. Fast in isolation (~6.5s) but latency degrades sharply when more than one session uses it at once. Agent-tuned, thinking mode, 64K context.                                                     |
-| `bandit-core-1`  | Self-hosted, lightweight. Same concurrency limit as `bandit-logic`, and availability has been uneven — measured between 8s and 112s for the same trivial prompt on the same day. Check before relying on it. |

+| `bandit-logic`   | Default: Kimi K3 through Ollama Cloud, with vision, reasoning and native tools. Advertised context: 1M; the harness keeps conservative working budgets. |
+| `bandit-logic-2` | Compatibility alias for the same K3 backend. Existing saved sessions continue to work.                                                                  |

-> **Concurrency matters more than the benchmark.** `bandit-logic` and
-> `bandit-core-1` run on our own hardware and serve roughly one request at a
-> time: two simultaneous sessions are enough to stall both. `bandit-logic-2`
-> and `bandit-core-2` are cloud-backed and hold their latency under load. If
-> you are fanning work out in parallel, use the cloud pair.
+K3 replaces K2.7 Code in the Logic routes. The initial three-task compatibility
+screen passed; that small sample is not a comparative quality or latency claim.
+Cloud Logic uses the existing frontier subscription, usage and credit rules.
+Use an explicit Qwen model with the Ollama provider for local inference.

 **Avoid for agent work:** `gpt-oss:120b` and similar reasoning-tuned models. They're post-trained for OpenAI's harmony tool-call format, not the XML protocol Bandit uses for non-native models — they tend to narrate intent without emitting tool calls. Great for math/proofs in chat, poor for filesystem agent loops.
