Every built-in provider ships with a default model. You can change it in two ways.

​
One-time override

Pass --model directly when launching. The flag is forwarded to Claude CLI. 
clother-zai --model glm-4.7
clother-alibaba --model kimi-k2.5
clother-ollama --model qwen3-coder
The override applies only to that single session. The configured default is unchanged.

​
Permanent override

Run clother config <provider> and choose a different default model. Clother writes the override to config.json and uses it for all future launches of that provider. 
clother config zai
# Choose model:
#   1. glm-5     GLM-5
#   2. glm-4.7   GLM-4.7
# Model [glm-5]: 2
To see what model is currently in effect for a provider: 
clother info zai

​
OpenRouter

OpenRouter launchers follow the clother-or-<alias> naming pattern. The model is bound to the alias at configuration time, not at launch time.
1

Run the OpenRouter configurator

clother config openrouter
2

Enter a model ID and alias

Model ID (empty to stop): moonshotai/kimi-k2.5
Alias [kimi-k2-5]: kimi-k25
Find model IDs at openrouter.ai/models.
3

Use the launcher

clother-or-kimi-k25
To use a different model through the same alias, re-run clother config openrouter and provide a new model ID for the same alias name.
If a model doesn’t behave as expected with tool calls, try the :exacto variant — for example moonshotai/kimi-k2-0905:exacto.
