polygo models lists the options with sizes and notes. The workflow is the same whichever you pick.
| Size | Good for | |
|---|---|---|
qwen3:8b (default) |
5 GB | UI strings into major languages. In a live test: 8 of 8 Polish plural forms, 6 of 8 Russian, rough Bulgarian ("Достъп за достъп"). |
gemma4 |
9.6 GB | Smaller languages, Slavic plurals, anything customer-facing. |
openai/…, anthropic/… |
API | Same as above, no local GPU needed. |
check catches structural mistakes, not a wrong word, so step up from the default for anything a customer will read.
polygo use gemma4 # pulls through Ollama with a progress bar, writes polygo.toml
polygo use qwen3:14b --global # also the default for future `polygo init`
polygo use openai/gpt-4o-mini --api-key sk-... # key stored in ~/.config/polygo/credentials.toml (0600)
polygo use anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 # or export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
polygo use openai/llama-3.3-70b --base-url https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 # any OpenAI-compatible server
