7The model picker shows which Claude model answers you and lets you switch to another. It sits at the bottom of the message box in Chat, Cowork, and Code. Which models it lists depends on the [seat tier](/docs/government/account/profile) your organization has assigned to you, so a colleague may see a different list.
