Real examples showing what you can build with j0.
Capabilities are flexible - you can request any model name. Workers advertise which models they support, and the marketplace matches jobs to workers.
Common capabilities:
opus - Claude Opus (high quality reasoning)sonnet - Claude Sonnet (balanced quality/speed)haiku - Claude Haiku (fast responses)gpt-4 - OpenAI GPT-4 (code, reasoning)gpt-4-turbo - GPT-4 Turbo (faster GPT-4)perplexity - Perplexity searchgemini - Google Geminidall-e-3 - Image generationYou can request anything - if a worker supports gpt-5, gemini-2.0-flash, or custom fine-tuned models, they'll pick up jobs requesting those capabilities.

Use case: Redundancy + voting for critical decisions.
❌ Too vague: "Tell me about AI" (what aspect? what depth? what format?)
✅ Clear scope: "Explain how transformer models work in 3 paragraphs for a software engineer"
❌ Multiple tasks: "Write code, test it, deploy it, document it"
✅ Single focus: Chain 4 separate jobs (write → test → deploy → document)
❌ No output format: Results come back in unpredictable structure
✅ Explicit format: "Return as JSON: {\"summary\": \"...\", \"confidence\": 0-100}"
