Manual AI model selection is being retired
As of October 7, 2026, Default uses GPT-5.6 Luna, OpenAI’s latest model. Over the coming weeks, every Hub will move to the QorusDocs-managed Default AI model, and the AI Model dropdowns in Hub Settings and Smart Skills, along with the temperature setting, will be retired. No action is required: Admins will receive an email two weeks before their Hub’s switch-over date, and all saved prompts and instructions carry over unchanged.
In the meantime, we recommend choosing Default in Hub Settings and for any new Smart Skills.
QorusDocs QPilot Assistant leverages powerful language models to deliver accurate, intelligent, and context-aware responses to your content queries.
This guide outlines the AI models currently supported by QPilot Assistant, their capabilities, and how they differ, helping you better understand the technology behind QPilot Assistant’s AI features, including Ask (Smart Search), QPilot Chat, AI Text Smart Fields, and Smart Skills.
In this article, we’ll cover:
- How to set the AI Model
- Choosing the best AI model and when to use them
- Supported AI Models
- Model Update Policy
How to set the AI Model
Admins can choose which AI model QPilot Assistant uses at the hub level, and can override that choice for an individual Smart Skill. If you choose a different model for a Smart Skill compared to the one used in Hub Management Settings, then the model set at the Smart Skill level will be used when users execute that Smart Skill.
Set the AI Model your hub uses
You can select any supported option, including Default, from the AI Model dropdown in Hub Settings:
Override the hub AI model selected for a Smart Skill
You can override the AI model you selected for your hub for each Smart Skill you configure. To do this:
- For a new Smart Skill, you will find the AI model dropdown menu in the configuration screen.
-
For an existing Smart Skill, go to Manage > Smart Skills, then click the gear icon next to the Smart Skill you want to change the AI model for and click Edit.
Scroll down to find the AI model selection option:
Note that the temperature parameter is not configurable for Default (GPT-5.6 Luna) or the other GPT-5 series models (GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.4-mini, and GPT-5.4). These models use a fixed temperature to ensure consistent output quality and maintain their optimized balance between determinism and creativity. You can learn more about AI temperature in Smart Skills Configuration.
Choosing the best AI model and when to use them
For most teams, we recommend Default. It uses the model QorusDocs has selected and validated for the work QPilot Assistant supports, and we keep it current for you, so you do not have to track model releases and retirements. Default currently uses GPT-5.6 Luna, OpenAI’s latest model, which in our testing is noticeably faster and delivers better quality responses than the models it replaces.
Default is best for:
- All QPilot Assistant work: Ask (Smart Search), QPilot Chat, AI Text Smart Fields and Smart Skills
- Proposal and RFP drafting, summarisation, and detailed content queries
- Complex, high-stakes tasks that need depth of reasoning, such as compliance or legal analysis
- High-volume, everyday work where fast, consistent output matters
- Any new Hub configuration or new Smart Skill
The other models listed in the dropdown remain available for existing configurations only, until manual AI model selection is retired. We do not recommend selecting them for new work: they are either earlier-generation models or models that GPT-5.6 Luna now matches or exceeds for the work QPilot Assistant supports. If your Hub or a Smart Skill is still set to a specific model, switching it to Default is the simplest way to take advantage of GPT-5.6 Luna now.
Supported AI Models
QPilot Assistant offers the following options in the AI Model dropdown, including the QorusDocs-managed Default:
These models offer varying levels of performance, context understanding, and processing power.
Each model also has a maximum session capacity, measured in tokens, that determines how much a single QPilot Chat session can hold. To understand how that capacity is used and how to stay within it, see QPilot Chat Capacity Indicator.
Default: GPT-5.6 Luna
Default is the recommended model. When you select Default, QPilot Assistant uses a current-generation model that QorusDocs manages and keeps up to date on your behalf, rather than a specific model you select and maintain yourself. The same Default applies consistently across your Hub and Smart Skills.
Choosing Default means you no longer need to track the continual churn of AI models, where providers regularly release new versions and retire older ones. You stay on a current-generation model automatically.
Default currently uses GPT-5.6 Luna, OpenAI’s latest model, which replaced GPT-5.2 behind Default on October 7, 2026. In our testing, GPT-5.6 Luna is noticeably faster and delivers better quality responses across Ask (Smart Search), QPilot Chat, AI Text Smart Fields and Smart Skills. We will keep Default current as part of our normal product releases, and we will update this article whenever the model behind Default changes.
Best for:
- All QPilot Assistant work, from everyday drafting and summarisation to complex, high-stakes analysis
- Any new Hub configuration or new Smart Skill
- Teams who want a current-generation model without tracking releases or planning migrations

The GPT-5 series models below remain available in the AI Model dropdown for existing configurations only, until manual AI model selection is retired. For new work, and for the best QPilot Assistant results, we recommend Default.
GPT-5.2
GPT-5.2 was the model behind Default until October 7, 2026, when Default moved to GPT-5.6 Luna. It remains available for Hubs and Smart Skills that are still set to it. If you are using GPT-5.2, switching to Default is a straightforward upgrade.

Model Update Policy
The AI landscape is rapidly evolving. QorusDocs ensures that QPilot Assistant remains up to date with the latest advancements to deliver the most relevant, accurate, and efficient AI-powered assistance.
When you use Default, QorusDocs manages the underlying model for you and moves it forward to a current-generation model over time. We validate a new model before it becomes the Default, and we announce any change to the model behind Default, along with other model updates, via our release notes. This article always reflects the model currently behind Default.
Updates will be communicated via release notes.
