Start with auto
auto chooses from frontier open models for each new user turn. It is the default on a standard Fireworks key.
Use auto-instant when you want a latency-first open-model mix. If fast models are disabled by model governance, use auto.
/model, and select Auto. No --model flag is required.
Choose a family, tier, or version
Use--model only when you want a specific family, tier, or version:
Prefer
*-latest unless you need a pinned version.
Find a model ID
--refresh fetches the latest copy.
Check image support
glm-latest and glm-fast-latest are text-only. Image support for other aliases depends on the model currently behind each alias. Check fireconnect model list before sending images.
If an image reaches a text-only model in Claude Code, use /rewind or switch to a vision-capable model such as Kimi or glm-5p3-flash.
