# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Cron fallback provider receives primary model instead of fallback entry's model

## Open now

- 1 issue, 0 PRs open on GitHub.
- #47781: \[Bug\]: cron fallback ignores model from fallback_providers entry, sends primary model to fallback provider

Most members describe the same reported problem: when cron falls back to another provider, it appears to keep the primary model rather than use the model from the fallback_providers entry, which is linked to a 404 for an unknown model. The cluster includes bug reports and proposed fixes, plus one related feature proposal for model-pinned fallback entries (require_same_model, match_model).

## TL;DR
