The key comes from the `chat:defaultToNewerModel` keybinding, which defaults to ctrl+y.\n\n- It offers a newer model in the same family as the model saved in your user settings.\n\n- It appears only when a newer model is pending and that keybinding is available.\n\n- It is shown a limited number of times, spaced out, and records whether you answered.\n\nThe offer's settings come from a remote configuration whose built-in default turns it off.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you have a saved model, Claude Code may prompt you to switch your default to a newer one.\n\n- Area: Models\n- Names: `chat:defaultToNewerModel`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
