Control Which Model Each Subagent Uses in Agentforce Builder

Select the model that gives your subagent the best balance of speed and reasoning depth for its specific job. For example, a subagent that performs simple tasks can run on a smaller model and one that manages complex tasks can use a larger one. Previously, you could only set a model for a subagent with Agent Script.
