#Model Overrides

Each specialist has a preferred model, but you can override it at the organization or personal level.

#Overview

By default, each specialist uses its preferred models as defined in its manifest. However, you can override these preferences at two levels:

• Organization Override: Applies to all users in your workspace
• Personal Override: Applies only to you (takes precedence over organization override)

#Model Selection Precedence

When a specialist is invoked, the model is selected using this priority order:

1. Personal Override (highest priority)
   ↓
2. Organization Override
   ↓
3. Specialist's Preferred Model
   ↓
4. System Default (lowest priority)

#Setting Model Overrides

#Viewing Specialist Preferences

1. Navigate to the Specialists page
2. Click on any specialist to open its detail page
3. Scroll to the Preferred Models section to see which models the specialist prefers by default

Example:

Preferred Models
anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5

#Setting an Organization Override

1. In the specialist detail page, find the Model Overrides section
2. Under Organization Default, click the dropdown
3. Search for and select a model (e.g., "GPT-4o Mini")
4. The override is saved automatically

Note: Organization overrides apply to all users in your workspace. This is useful for:

• Standardizing on specific models across your team
• Managing costs by using cheaper models
• Ensuring compliance with specific providers

#Setting a Personal Override

1. In the same Model Overrides section
2. Under Personal Override, click the dropdown
3. Select your preferred model
4. Your selection takes precedence over the organization default

Use cases:

• Testing different models for specific tasks
• Personal preference for certain model characteristics
• Using more powerful models when needed

#Clearing Overrides

Click the X button next to any override to remove it and restore the default behavior.

#Available Models

Models are fetched dynamically from OpenRouter when you open the specialist detail page. The list includes:

• Anthropic Claude models (claude-sonnet-4.5, claude-3.5-sonnet, etc.)
• OpenAI GPT models (gpt-4o, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-3.5-turbo, etc.)
• Google Gemini models (gemini-pro-1.5, gemini-flash-1.5, etc.)
• Meta Llama models (llama-3.3-70b-instruct, etc.)
• And any other models available on OpenRouter

The model list is always up-to-date with OpenRouter's current offerings.

#Persistence

Overrides persist across sessions. You do not need to set them again each time you open the app. Different workspaces can have different overrides, and personal overrides are always separate from organization overrides.

#Example Workflows

#Use a cost-effective model by default

Your team wants to use GPT-4o Mini by default to reduce costs, but you occasionally need the more capable Claude Sonnet 4.5 for complex tasks.

1. An admin sets Organization Default to "GPT-4o Mini"
2. You set Personal Override to "Claude Sonnet 4.5"

Your teammates use GPT-4o Mini. You use Claude Sonnet 4.5. Clear your personal override anytime to fall back to the team default.

#Compare models for a specialist

You want to evaluate which model works best for a specific specialist.

1. Leave the organization override empty
2. Set Personal Override to "GPT-4 Turbo"
3. Test the specialist
4. Change the override to "Claude 3.5 Sonnet"
5. Compare results

You can switch between models without affecting other users.
