# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Custom provider model selection and validation in /model command

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

The three members appear to concern the /model command when using custom providers: one bug report describes an error when a custom provider has two or more models, and two fix-oriented items address validation of custom:* provider slugs and selecting configured custom models not returned by provider listing. The titles suggest related themes, but they do not establish that the changes address the reported error.

## TL;DR
