| Tier | Model ID | Context | Who downloads | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hosted | `anthropic/claude-opus-4-5` | 200k | Provider | Latest Claude; keep as high-quality fallback. |
| Hosted | `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5` | 200k | Provider | Cheaper Claude; good default. |
| Hosted | `openai/gpt-4.1` | 128k | Provider | Latest GPT-4; strong tools + reasoning. |
| Hosted | `openai/gpt-4.1-mini` | 128k | Provider | Fast/cheap GPT-4 family; good fallback. |
| Local | `lmstudio/minimax-m2.1-gs32` | ~196k (build-dependent) | You (LM Studio UI) | Recommended local heavy model; keep loaded. |
| Local | Custom `vllm` / `litellm` model | server-defined | You (server) | Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint; align context settings. |
Keep hosted models configured even when running local; use `models.mode: "merge"` so fallbacks stay available.

### Local-first with hosted safety net
Swap the primary and fallback order; keep the same providers block and `models.mode: "merge"` so you can fall back to Sonnet or GPT-4.1 when the local box is down.
