## Selecting Adaptive

To select Adaptive, run `/model adaptive` during a session, pass `--model adaptive` when launching, or set it as your default in `~/.config/devin/config.json` (on Windows, `%APPDATA%\devin\config.json`):


```json
{
  "agent": {
    "model": "adaptive"
  }
}
```

You can switch away from Adaptive to a specific model at any time with `/model`.
