Switch Models in Web Chat

Pick a model for a conversation (web)​

Every conversation can run on its own provider and model. You switch from the model picker in the chat composer — no settings page needed.

In every screenshot, the red box shows exactly where to focus.

1. Find the model picker​

Open any conversation. At the bottom, next to the message box, there is a button with a CPU icon. By default it reads Adri AI.

2. Open the picker​

Click the button. The dropdown shows:

  • Adri AI at the top — the project default. A check mark marks the current selection.
  • One entry per enabled provider, by the name your team gave it (e.g. Production Anthropic).

note

If the dropdown says "No providers configured. Add one in Settings → Providers.", your project has no providers yet — follow Add a provider first.

3. Pick a model​

  1. Hover over a provider to open its model list.
  2. Click the model you want.

You should see a toast like Switched to Claude Sonnet 4.5, and the composer button now shows the model's name.

4. What the switch means​

  • The choice applies to this conversation only. Other conversations keep their own selection.
  • It takes effect on the next message you send. Earlier messages are never rewritten.
  • The selection is saved — leave and come back, it is still set.

5. Go back to the default​

Open the picker and click Adri AI. You should see the toast "Using the project default model".

If the button shows "(unavailable)"​

The provider behind this conversation's model was removed. Open the picker and choose a new model (or Adri AI). See FAQs & troubleshooting for details.
