}Good to know
- The model picker only lists models whose ids are recognizably Claude (for example
claude-opus-4.8). - Developer → Configure Third-Party Inference → Export produces the same settings as a .mobileconfig / .reg / JSON file for rolling out to a team.
- To go back to a claude.ai account, switch Inference provider back in the same window, or turn off Developer Mode.
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.
