262262When `inferenceModels` is unset, Claude Desktop on 3P populates the model picker from your gateway's `GET /v1/models` response. Auto-discovery shows only models whose IDs are recognizably Claude; if your gateway advertises models under opaque aliases, set `inferenceModels` explicitly. Set [`inferenceModels`](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#models) to override discovery with an explicit list — the picker will show exactly the entries you provide. Use the model IDs your gateway expects (for example `bedrock/us.anthropic.claude-opus-5` for a LiteLLM-style routing prefix).

264If your gateway serves a Claude model under an opaque routing alias, it can mark the model as Claude by returning an `anthropic_family_tier` field (a Claude tier name such as `sonnet` or `opus`) on that model object in its `/v1/models` response, optionally with `is_family_default: true` when several models map to the same tier. Models marked this way pass the auto-discovery filter.
264If your gateway serves a Claude model under an opaque routing alias, it can mark the model as Claude by returning an `anthropic_family_tier` field (a Claude tier name such as `sonnet` or `opus`) on that model object in its `/v1/models` response, optionally with `is_family_default: true` when several models map to the same tier. Models marked this way pass the auto-discovery filter. The app also reads other optional fields on each model object. `display_name` sets the picker label when the app cannot derive one from the model ID, as with an opaque alias. `description` adds a one-line description beneath the label (Claude Desktop 1.49585.0 or later). `supports_1m: true`, or a `max_input_tokens` value of 1,000,000 or more, marks a discovered model as supporting the 1M-token context window, as `supports1m` does on an `inferenceModels` entry.

266266If your gateway does not implement `GET /v1/models`, give every `inferenceModels` entry the full model ID your gateway accepts; bare tier aliases such as `sonnet` rely on discovery to resolve. When every entry is a full model ID, the app skips the `/v1/models` call automatically. A list that contains a bare alias keeps discovery on, so for a gateway without the endpoint, replace the alias with the full model ID; a bare alias cannot be resolved without discovery. On earlier app versions that do not skip the call automatically, also set [`modelDiscoveryEnabled`](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#modeldiscoveryenabled) to `false` to avoid the discovery attempt. The cost of leaving discovery on without the endpoint depends on how the gateway fails: an error response makes the app fall back to the `inferenceModels` list immediately, while an endpoint that accepts the request and hangs delays the model list by up to 10 seconds at launch.
