cmdop models

List available models for chat and skill execution. cmdop accepts both aliases (semantic, stable) and concrete IDs (specific provider model).

List

cmdop models
cmdop models --json

Example output:

ALIAS         CONCRETE                          PROVIDER     CONTEXT
@code         anthropic/claude-opus-4-7         cmdop        1M
@balanced     openai/gpt-4o                     cmdop        128K
@fast         openai/gpt-4o-mini                cmdop        128K
@vision       anthropic/claude-sonnet-4         cmdop        200K
@reasoning    z-ai/glm-5.1                      cmdop        256K

Aliases vs concrete IDs

• Aliases (@code, @balanced, @fast, @vision, @reasoning) resolve via the cmdop model router to whatever the team currently considers the best fit. Aliases survive provider migrations. For how the router authenticates and which providers it brokers, see How model access works.
• Concrete IDs (openai/gpt-4o-mini, z-ai/glm-5.1, anthropic/claude-opus-4-7) lock to one specific model. Use these in regression tests or when you want strict determinism.

Switch the model

Inside chat:

/model @code
/model anthropic/claude-opus-4-7

From the CLI:

cmdop chat --model @code
cmdop chat --model openai/gpt-4o-mini
cmdop run code-review src/ --model @code

Persist the choice:

cmdop config set chat.default_model @code

Custom providers

If you’ve added a custom OpenAI-compatible provider via cmdop provider add, that provider’s models also appear in the list — prefixed with the provider name:

cmdop provider set ollama-local
cmdop models
# → ollama-local/qwen2.5-coder:32b
# → ollama-local/llama3.3:70b

When a custom provider is active, the alias names (@code, @balanced) resolve to that provider’s default model. Search, vision, and CDN still route through the cmdop model router regardless of the chat provider. See /cli/automation/provider.
