claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Using Opus 4.6 in Desktop

TL;DR

Adding a "More models" menu to the model selector or implementing the /model command may allow using Opus 4.6 and 4.5 in Claude Code Desktop.

Guidance

• Review the existing model selector code to determine the best approach for adding Opus 4.6 and 4.5 support.
• Consider the feasibility of implementing the /model command as an alternative solution.
• Evaluate the potential impact on productivity and prioritize the feature request accordingly.
• Investigate how the "More models" menu is implemented in Chat and Cowork to inform the design decision.

Notes

The lack of additional context and use case examples makes it difficult to provide a more detailed solution. Further discussion with the development team may be necessary to determine the best approach.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing the /model command may be a viable temporary solution until the "More models" menu can be added to the model selector.
