Most of the cloud providers give you a choice of two ways of referring to models - either a specific dated model id (like the example above), or a shorter alias which generally points to the latest release of that model, and is more likely to change over time.

We add in some additional flags for `--opus`, `--sonnet`, `--haiku` as shortcuts to abstract this away even further if you want to just use the latest model releases.

Example to run haiku latest via Vercel AI Gateway with unified billing and cross-cloud fallback between providers.

`claude-run --haiku --vercel task.md`

AWS Bedrock at least appears to be pretty steady when you pin a model now, according to our own evals anyway. Earlier on there was some performance degradation, at peak load etc.
