In a cloud session, the work runs on a remote machine (a worker) instead of your own computer. The model switch can now ask that remote request to wait until the worker has started, and then carry out a follow-up step once the switch has gone through. Before, the request was sent with no such option.\n\n**Why**\n\nSwitching models in a cloud session that is still starting up should work more reliably.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Names: `\/model`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
