Why Use This Feature?

- Use a specific fast model like Qwen 3 for actions involving tools.
- Default to the best routing model to let Alter choose the optimal model automatically.
How to Assign a Model to an Alter Action
- Open Alter on your Mac.
- Click the three dots icon at the top right corner.
- Select Action Editor.
- Go to the Advanced settings of the action you want to customize.
- In the model selection dropdown, pick the specific model you want for this action.
- Save your changes.
Now, whenever you use that Alter action, it will run using the assigned AI model only.
Example Use Cases
- Even if your main model is remote, you can assign a local-only model to a specific action, and Alter will use the local model for that task.
- For scheduling tasks, you might assign Qwen 3 for its speed and tool compatibility, e.g., blocking your lunchtime efficiently.
