DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

New modelPicker setting curates the /model list

Useful4 Signal4

A new modelPicker setting curates or replaces the model list you see in /model.

What

An administrator can now supply an ordered options list of {model, label?, description?} rows that appear in /model, and set replaceBuiltInOptions to hide the built-in lineup, gateway-discovered models and ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_MODEL_OPTION rather than add to them. It is honored from managed settings, --settings/SDK and user settings only, never from a project checkout, and the highest-precedence source wins outright with no merging.

Details
  • Rows that fail validation are dropped one at a time with a warning; the rest of the file still applies.
  • Consumed where the picker's rows are assembled, so it takes effect in the /model UI directly.
  • Ships alongside modelPricing, which prices usage at contracted rates via a multiplier in (0, 1] and per-model overrides and is restricted to managed sources.
  • Neither key exists in 2.1.241, and no flag gates either: writing the setting is enough.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
