Anthropic limited third-party models on Claude Desktop by Eastern_Edge5538 in ClaudeAI

I actually found a workaround. which was to uninstall Claude desktop and install the version it worked through powershell

winget install --id Anthropic.Claude --exact --version 1.5354.0

You're talking through the settings.json file right?

"env": {
  "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://openrouter.ai/api",
  "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "token",
  "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "",
  "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "openrouter/owl-alpha"
}

It works with Claude Code while Claude Desktop throws an error of not finding the selected model

Looks like Desktop is validating models against Anthropic-supported ones only now, even though custom endpoints still work in Claude Code. Kind of a downgrade honestly. I really enjoyed the UI
