Three-tier structure with center highlighting guides users toward the recommended option while clear tier names ("Sonnet", "Opus", "Haiku") simplify navigation between capability levels

Feature differentiation by use case ("Everyday tasks" vs "Complex reasoning") helps users self-segment by need rather than decoding abstract tier differences
