Model Slot Mapping
How Claude Code maps to NVIDIA models
Claude Code relies on internal sub-slots (Sonnet, Opus, and Haiku) for optimal tooling workflows. This chart outlines exactly how to pipe those Anthropic models into free NVIDIA endpoints for top-tier performance.
| Claude Slot | CLI Command | Target NVIDIA Model | Optimization |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sonnet (default) | /model → 1 or 5 | meta/llama-3.1-405b-instruct | Daily coding — highly capable |
| Opus (powerful) | /model → 3 | nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b | Complex multi-file work |
| Haiku (quick) | /model → 4 | google/gemma-4-31b-it | Quick questions, very fast |
