# The model picker now has search

By [Syed Fazle Rahman](https://buildful.ai/authors/fazle) Oct 17, 2026 

The model picker in Buildful's task composer has a search field, so you can type part of a model's name, like "sonnet", and pick it without scrolling the list.

Smart Mode and Quick Mode stay at the top. If you're not sure which model is best for coding a task, leave it on Smart Mode. It picks the right open-weight model for each task, on every plan. See [pricing](https://buildful.ai/pricing) for the models on each plan.

Also on October 17:

- Enter sends your message, in the new-task box and in a task's reply box. Shift+Enter adds a new line.
- While a task starts, you see the sandbox being set up and your repo being cloned, then a Thinking row until the agent's first words arrive.
- The run log shows the team memory the agent loaded. Open the Loaded memory items row to read each memory, grouped by repo.
- A merged task stays merged when you ask a follow-up question that leads to no code.
