A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle.
It has been in the build since v2.1.138, including the newest one read.
Set to 1 to populate the /model picker from your gateway's /v1/models endpoint when ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway such as LiteLLM, Kong, or an internal proxy. Off by default because gateways backed by a shared API key would otherwise show every user every model the key can access. Discovered models are still filtered by an availableModels allowlist the session receives; deliver the list through MDM or a managed settings file, since server-managed delivery is not available on gateway configurations
Gateway model discovery can authenticate with apiKeyHelper and logs why it skipped.

No release's published evidence quotes this name. The ledger indexes the Evidence lines of every changelog on this site, so this says nobody here has ever quoted it; it says nothing about how old the name is.

One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the environment variable does. All environment variables.
