Update README to reflect current model lineup

Sync the Available Models table and usage examples with the models
defined in src/services/model-registry.ts. Drop the stale per-model
free-tier column in favor of a general note, since free-tier status
is not tracked in code.

[Anthropic](https://console.anthropic.com/), [Google](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/api-key),
or [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/account/api/keys).
You need a paid account for most models. The following models should be available
to free-tier users:
- OpenAI: GPT-4.1 Nano, GPT-4.1 Mini
- Google: Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash
Anthropic and Perplexity require a paid account to use their APIs.
Most models require a paid account. Some providers (notably Google's smaller
Gemini Flash models) offer limited free-tier access, but free-tier availability
and rate limits change frequently — check your provider's current pricing for
details. Anthropic and Perplexity require a paid account to use their APIs.

To add notes or tags as context, click the + button in the Context panel, or type `[[` to begin inserting a note or `#` to begin inserting a tag. Notes and tags added to the context are sent to the model along with your messages. Model providers generally charge based on the total amount of input context supplied with requests, so an estimated number
of context tokens is given in the context panel.
For each message, you can select from available models to generate a response. It can be useful to switch between models during a chat. For example, it might make sense to use a reasoning model like Open AI's O3 or Perplexity's Sonar Reasoning for an initial requests and a less intensive model such as GPT-4.1 or Gemini Flash 2.0 for follow-up questions.
For each message, you can select from available models to generate a response. It can be useful to switch between models during a chat. For example, it might make sense to use a reasoning model like Perplexity's Sonar Reasoning Pro or a frontier model like Claude Opus 4.7 for an initial request and a less intensive model such as GPT-5.4 Mini or Gemini 3 Flash for follow-up questions.
You can also select from available system prompts for each message. System prompts are used to guide how a model should respond to your messages. For example, you might want to use a system prompt that encourages the model to be more creative or to provide more detailed explanations. You might want to have a set of "personas" or "roles" that you can switch between during a conversation, such as a friendly assistant or professional critic. If you do not provide a system prompt, the model will be instructed to be a helpful assistant.

Co-Intelligence AI is built using the [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/introduction), and ultimately our ability to interface with models is dependent on the models supported by it.
