+## How do I change the model Amazon Q uses?
+
+When you start `q chat` the model is printed:
+
+```output
+🤖 You are chatting with claude-3.7-sonnet
+```
+
+You can use the `/model` command to list other available models.
+
+```console
+/model
+```
+
+The model options are displayed:
+
+```output
+? Select a model for this chat session ›
+❯ claude-4-sonnet
+  claude-3.7-sonnet (active)
+  claude-3.5-sonnet
+```
+
+Use the arrow keys and select the model you want to use. 
+
+You can ask Amazon Q to set the default model for future sessions.
