Want to use certain models safely? Look no further than BoodleBox, which as of today, now offers the following models. As you will see on review of the table, those “new models” include Claude 4.6 Sonnet and Claude 4.6 Opus, as well as Gemini 3.1 Pro, and ChatGPT 5.4.

By the way, there are TWO infographics. One is generated by Google Gemini’s Nano Banana 2 (Thinking) model (shown above).

The second is BoodleBox Unlimited’s Nano Banana Pro (shown below).

Which do you think did a better job? Ok, so here’s the chart both are based off of…

Power Up Your Bots

For the Bot Builder that BoodleBox offers, you can see an important update:

With Premium models (which require BoodleBox Unlimited for both users and bot builders), you can now take advantage of Claude 4.5 Opus and Nemotron 3 Nano, not to mention Gemini 3.1 Pro. I do wish they would add some image generation models to the mix, but if you’re a BoodleBox Unlimited user, you can always flip to the models available for image generation (e.g. Nano Banana Pro, Flux, etc.).

On the free model side, there’s not as much excitement:

You can see you have Claude 4.5 Haiku, Gemini 3 Flash, but it would also be nice to have Nemotron 2 or 3 Nano…isn’t it free? Either way, nice job on the updates, BoodleBox! I’ll be comparing the results.
