# Large language model performance matrix
This page describes the performance of various large language models (LLMs) for different use cases in Elastic Security, based on our internal testing. To learn more about these use cases, refer to [Attack discovery](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4491/solutions/security/ai/attack-discovery) or [AI Assistant](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4491/solutions/security/ai/ai-assistant).
<important>
  `Excellent` is the best rating, followed by `Great`, then by `Good`, and finally by `Poor`. Models rated `Excellent` or `Great` should produce quality results. Models rated `Good` or `Poor` are not recommended for that use case.
