Hey @Matt_Benesch great question! I realized that I actually didn’t know myself how they differed functionally, so I dug into it and realized that the nodes are both considered sub-nodes but they are not compatible with all the same root nodes.

Specifically, the OpenAI Model node does not work with our AI Agent root node. If you try to connect them, you’ll encounter a compatibility error.

Here’s a workflow that can help illustrate this:

Hope this helps answer your question! Happy building!
