Moldable Gateway treats a “model” as an identifier string (for example, the name your backend expects). Different parts of the system can supply a model, so it helps to know what tends to win.

​
Common places to set a model

  • Adapter default: a default model on the configured AI backend adapter.
  • Agent defaults: an agent may specify a model to use for messages routed to it.
  • Per-request override: some callers (for example, OpenAI-compatible HTTP clients) can include a model in the request.

​
Typical precedence

In general, the gateway prefers the most specific choice available:
  1. Per-request override (when provided)
  2. Routed agent model (when an agent is selected)
  3. Adapter default
  4. Global default (if configured)
