Model Selection

Prospector Studio is not built around a single model. Every agent, workflow, and knowledge base picks the model that fits the job — and you can change that choice at any time, per agent, without redeploying anything.

That matters because the model is a business decision, not just a technical one. A model that reads ten thousand alerts an hour has different economics to one that writes the incident report your client's board will read. Pinning yourself to one model means overpaying for the first job or under-delivering on the second.

So we give you tiers. Pick the tier that matches the work, change it when the work changes.

The four tiers

Every model in the catalog sits in one of four tiers. The tier tells you what the model is good at and roughly what it will cost you against your contract.

Frontier Very High usage

The deepest reasoning available. Long multi-step analysis, ambiguous evidence, and work where being wrong is expensive.

Reach for it when you are

  • Incident root-cause analysis across noisy, partial evidence
  • Threat-hunting hypotheses over large context
  • Executive and client-facing report generation
  • Agents that plan long tool-use chains without supervision

18 models available

Balanced Moderate usage

The default. Strong reasoning at a consumption rate you can run all day. Most Strike48 agents ship pointed here.

Reach for it when you are

  • Day-to-day agent work and chat
  • Summarising alerts, tickets, and findings
  • Tool-calling workflows with a human in the loop
  • Knowledge-base Q&A over your own documents

27 models available

Fast Low usage

Built for volume. When you are running the same small judgement thousands of times an hour, this is the tier that keeps the maths working.

Reach for it when you are

  • Alert triage and first-pass enrichment
  • Classification, tagging, and routing
  • Extracting structured fields from log lines
  • High-turn interactive chat

18 models available

Specialized Low usage

Purpose-built models that are not general chat — the machinery behind retrieval, ranking, vision, speech, and content safety.

Reach for it when you are

  • Embeddings for knowledge bases and semantic search
  • Reranking retrieval results before they hit an agent
  • Image, video, and speech understanding
  • Safety and content classification on inputs and outputs

34 models available

Switching tiers

Tiers are a default, not a cage. If a tier is not right for you, change it:

  • Per agent. Every agent has a model setting. Change it in the UI or through the GraphQL API and the next invocation uses the new model. No redeploy, no downtime.
  • Per workflow step. A single workflow can triage on a Fast model and escalate the interesting five percent to Frontier. That is usually where the best economics live.
  • Org-wide defaults. Set the default tier for your organisation so new agents inherit it, and let individual teams override where they have a reason to.
  • Restrict the list. If there are tiers or providers you do not want your people using — for cost, for policy, or because your legal team has opinions about a particular vendor — we can hide them entirely. Your catalog shows only what you have approved.

A pattern that works

Run first-pass triage on a Fast model, promote anything scored above a threshold to Balanced for enrichment, and reserve Frontier for the handful of incidents that become a written report. Most customers land somewhere near this shape.

Not every model is available everywhere. AWS rolls models out region by region, and a few in this list are only carried in some of them. If you have a data-residency requirement that pins you to a particular region, tell us early — we will confirm which of these are reachable there before you build anything around one.

Tier and usage rate are Strike48 assignments, not AWS ones — see consumption rates for what they mean against your contract. Models appear and retire on AWS's schedule; this list is regenerated from the live API to match.

How this stays private inside Bedrock

Every model in the list above is invoked through Amazon Bedrock, in the AWS account that hosts your deployment.

What that gives you:

  • Your inputs and outputs are not used to train models. AWS states that Bedrock does not use customer prompts or completions to train the underlying foundation models, and does not share them with the model providers.
  • Nothing crosses the public internet. Bedrock is reachable over an interface VPC endpoint (AWS PrivateLink), so traffic from your workloads to the model stays on the AWS network. An egress-free deployment is a supported configuration.

One thing to be aware of: we sometimes use global inference, where a request is served from whichever region has capacity rather than a fixed one. If you have a data-residency requirement, raise it early and we will scope your deployment around it.

Where Strike48 sits in this

Strike48 does not train on your data, and in a self-hosted deployment we have no path to it — the platform runs in your infrastructure and talks to your Bedrock endpoint using your credentials. Switching tiers changes which model AWS serves. It does not change who can see your data.

Privately hosted, fine-tuned models

The catalog above is the shared foundation-model layer. Alongside it we host models we have fine-tuned for security work, and those never sit on shared infrastructure.

We can also self-host models on your own infrastructure, so inference does not go through Bedrock at all. If that is a requirement for you, talk to us about what it would take for your environment.

Using both

Private and Bedrock-hosted models are not exclusive. A common shape is a private fine-tuned model handling the high-volume, high-sensitivity path — where the data is most regulated and the task is narrow — with Bedrock frontier models available for the open-ended analytical work where breadth beats specialisation.

Consumption rates and your contract

Models do not consume your allowance at the same rate. A Frontier model does substantially more computation per request than a Fast one, and that difference is reflected in what it draws down.

The usage rate column tells you which band a model falls in:

BandTypical tierWhat it means in practice
LowFast, SpecializedRun it continuously. Volume workloads — triage, classification, embeddings — are designed to live here.
ModerateBalancedThe default operating point. Sustainable for everyday agent work without close monitoring.
HighFrontierWorth it for genuinely hard problems. Worth checking your volumes before pointing a busy workflow at it.
Very HighFrontierThe most capable models available. Use deliberately, on the work that justifies it.

What actually drives consumption, beyond the band:

  • Tokens in and out. A long knowledge-base context costs more than a short prompt, on every model.
  • Reasoning depth. Models that think before answering spend tokens doing it. That is the point of them, and it is also why they sit in the higher bands.
  • Tool-calling loops. An agent that calls six connectors before answering ran six more inference passes than one that answered directly.
  • Provisioned throughput. Reserved capacity is billed on time held rather than tokens used — better for steady, predictable load, worse for bursty work.

How the bands map to units, what is included, and where the ceiling sits are set by your contract — they differ between a shared deployment and a dedicated one, and between commercial and public-sector terms. Prospector Studio reports actual consumption per agent and per workflow, so you can see which parts of your automation are spending the allowance before the invoice tells you.

If your rates do not fit the work

Tiers, the visible model list, and the rates attached to them are all adjustable. If your volumes point at a different shape — more Fast, a private fine-tuned model instead of a Frontier one, or a tier removed entirely — that is a contract conversation, not a platform limitation. Come talk to us.
