Select a model

2. Select a model.

   Models that are available without any setup are listed under No API key needed. Models that are available through API keys and endpoints that you have set up are listed under Use your API key or endpoint. For more information, see AI models.

   

GPT for Excel uses the selected model to generate all responses.

Existing formulas will not automatically update to the new model if the cache is enabled. To re-execute them with a different model, you can either disable the cache, select the formulas and regenerate their results, or change a parameter in the formulas and press Enter.
