Models, Providers & Thinking

Ante lets you switch between models, providers, and reasoning levels mid-session — no restart needed.

Selecting a model​

Type /model in the TUI to open the model selector. You'll see available models grouped by provider. Use the arrow keys to navigate and Enter to confirm.

Selecting a model and provider with /model

From this same interface you can:

  • Switch providers — press Tab to toggle between Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, and more
  • Adjust thinking budget — for models that support extended thinking (like Claude with thinking), configure how much reasoning the model should do before responding
tip

You can also set your default model and provider via CLI flags: ante --provider openai --model gpt-5.4, or configure defaults in your preferences.
