## 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.
