/model picker should show all available models
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 8, 2026 by brianshradersonos Closed May 12, 2026
Problem
The /model interactive picker only shows a curated subset of available models. For example, claude-opus-4-6 is a valid model that works with /model claude-opus-4-6, but it doesn't appear in the picker list.
This means users don't know what's available unless they already know the model IDs. There's no --all flag or configuration option to show the full list.
Expected behavior
The /model picker should list all models available to the user's account, not a curated subset. The model family is small — there's no UX reason to hide options.
Workaround
Users must type /model <model-id> directly with the exact model ID, but there's no way to discover valid IDs from within Claude Code itself.
Suggestion
Either:
- Show all available models in the picker by default, or
- Add a configuration option / flag (e.g.,
/model --all) to display the full list
