+The `-latest` aliases always resolve to the newest model in each tier, so your config never goes stale. To pin an exact version instead, use a specific ID such as `anthropic/claude-opus-4-8`. Browse every ID via [List Models](/v3/llms/listing-models).

+## Model pools and routing
+
+Instead of pinning a single model, you can let Eden AI pick the best model for each request or fail over automatically when a provider has an incident.
+
+### Automatic routing with `@edenai`
+
+Set the model to `@edenai` and Eden AI's router selects the best available model from its default pool on every request. This works directly in Claude Code, since it only needs the model name:
+
+
+```bash bash / zsh
+export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="@edenai"
+```
+
+```powershell PowerShell
+$env:ANTHROPIC_MODEL = "@edenai"
+```
+
+
+
+Smart routing is tuned for general prompts. Claude Code is an agentic tool that leans heavily on tool calling, so for real coding sessions we recommend pinning a strong model (for example `anthropic/claude-opus-4-8`) or restricting the pool to tool-capable models.
+
+
+### Custom pools and fallbacks
+
+To restrict routing to a specific pool or declare an ordered failover list, you pass these as request-body fields:
+
+- **`router_candidates`**: a custom pool that `@edenai` chooses from. See [Smart Routing](/v3/llms/smart-routing).
+- **`fallbacks`**: models tried in order if the primary fails. See [Fallback](/v3/general/fallback).
+
+Claude Code only forwards the model name, not extra body fields, so use `router_candidates` and `fallbacks` through the API or an SDK directly rather than Claude Code's environment variables.
