ArcusProblem

The problem

The best model changes every month. Your subscription doesn't.

Four apps, four logins, four memories. Context, files and history are lost on every switch, so most people pick one lab and settle for a worse answer.

ArcusSolution

The solution

One thread. Every model.

Arcus puts GPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok in a single conversation, on one subscription.

01

Switch mid-conversation

The thread keeps its full context, whichever model answers next.

02

Auto mode

Fast models for everyday turns, frontier models for deep reasoning.

03

One plan

Arcus Unlimited covers every frontier model for less than two lab subscriptions.
