How to change the model used by Claude Code CLI

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 15, 2026 by shku1235 Closed Mar 19, 2026

Is there a way to specify which Claude model to use when running Claude Code from the terminal? For example, can I set an environment variable or pass a flag to use claude-3-opus-20240229 vs claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022?

If this isn't currently supported, could it be added as a feature?
