aider --model openai/claude-opus-4.8 --weak-model openai/claude-haiku-5.5Good to know
- Aider warns about unknown context sizes for custom models; it still works. Add the model to
.aider.model.settings.ymlto silence it.
Tips
- Any model id from Models works; suffixes like :online (web search) and :nitro work too.
- Give each tool its own key with a spend limit, so usage shows separately in Activity.
