1717Tell Claude which model you want, in your own words, in the thread.

20@Claude switch to Claude Opus 4.8 for the rest of this thread.
20@Claude switch to Claude Opus 5.5 for the rest of this thread.

2323To confirm the switch, check the reply footers. The reply that acknowledges the switch still names the previous model, because Claude writes it before the switch takes effect; the new model appears in the footer of the reply after it. Asking in a thread changes the model for that thread only. To change what new threads in the channel start on, set a [default model for the channel](#set-a-default-model-for-the-channel) instead.
No line in this hunk matches that.
