Model selection

[mderazon]

Just tried Gemini CLI + ACP in Zed.
Super cool!

But there's no way to see, let alone manage, which model is currently used.
I asked in the chat, "Which model are you?" and it responded Gemini 1.5 Pro (and said it is the latest model)

The lack of visibility is problematic, especially since Gemini tends to rate limit and switch to Gemini Flash frequently.
Also would be awesome to have some sort of visibility over the quota that has been used

Thanks for the feedback @mderazon
Adding model selection to the protocol is one of our near-term items, and we definitely want to help make this visible for all agents that support it. Especially knowing when you are in the default/auto mode where fallbacks are possible.

Yes please this would be super helpful

Bumping this - we'd love to make ACP work with Droids, but we've noticed supporting models isn't first class. @benbrandt

Hi, we have unstable support in the protocol/sdks, but I don't see the schema needing to change. It's on my todo list to stabiliize (meaning document) it this week, but feel free to give it a try and give feedback if it doesn't work for you.

We have it supported in Zed and both the claude code and codex adapters are using it if you want to take a look for reference.

Bumping this again :) I'v seen that instead of stabilizing the unstable schema https://agentclientprotocol.com/rfds/session-config-options was born. How it is going?
