In a remote session, where Claude Code runs in the cloud and you connect to it, the picker changes in two ways:\n\n- `\/model` now looks for kept model rows saved for the session. If there are any, it opens a new picker showing them. If there are none, it uses the previous picker. This sits behind the `modelCatalog` gate, and when that gate does not apply, `\/model` prints a system message instead.\n\n- The list of available models for a cloud session is now cached for each session and refreshed. Before, it was fetched once each time the picker opened.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn cloud sessions the model picker can show models kept for that session and should open faster, since it no longer refetches the full list every time.\n\n- Area: Models\n- Names: `\/model`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
