Getting started

GPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, GLM, and Kimi models

51cowork supports six leading model families; the live catalog comes from https://api.51cowork.com/v1/models.

Quick answer

Call the model list with the current Key, then copy an exact returned ID. A family name is not a model ID, and an ID from an old screenshot may be stale.

Fetch the catalog

The list reflects the models available to the Key group at that moment. It can change with operator configuration, upstream availability, or maintenance.
