Models

Providers

Neovate Code supports most popular providers and models by default. And you can also add any OpenAI compatible provider. Check out the Providers page to learn more.

Select a model

Once you have configured the providers, you can run /model to select a model. The selected model will be saved in the global settings in the ~/.neovate/config.json file.

/model

Also, you can use neovate config to select a model.

# Set global model
neovate config set model openai/gpt-4o -g
 
# Set project model
neovate config set model openai/gpt-4o
 
# Get global model
neovate config get model -g

Recommended models

Here are so many models, and we can’t test all of them. Here are some recommended models which have been tested and are working well.

  • Claude Sonnet 4
  • Claude Opus 4
  • Qwen3 Coder
  • Qwen3 Max
  • GPT 4.1
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro

Specify a model temporarily

You can specify a model temporarily by adding -m, --model to your command. The format is provider_id/model_id. It’s priority is higher than the model configured in the settings.

neovate -m openai/gpt-4o "Create a testcase for @src/components/Button.tsx"
