Favorite Models in Model Picker

[sei40kr]

As the number of available models increases, it becomes difficult for users to quickly find and select the ones they use most often. I propose adding a "favorite" or "star" feature to the model picker interface. Users would be able to mark certain models as favorites, and these would either appear at the top of the picker or in a dedicated favorites section, making frequent selections more convenient and improving overall usability.

memo:
With Crush v0.17.0, Recently Used section was added, making this feature less important than before.

you can also disable auto update in the crush config

  "options": {
    "disable_provider_auto_update": true,
}

and create your own providers update file and run crush update-providers path/to/providers.json

provider files can be found here https://github.com/charmbracelet/catwalk/tree/main/internal/providers

for example I only use bedrock so my providers update file is

[
  {
    "name": "AWS Bedrock",
    "id": "bedrock",
    "type": "bedrock",
    "api_key": "",
    "api_endpoint": "",
    "default_large_model_id": "anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0",
    "default_small_model_id": "anthropic.claude-haiku-4-5-20251001-v1:0",
    "models": [
      {
        "id": "anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0",
        "name": "AWS Claude Sonnet 4.5",
        "cost_per_1m_in": 3,
        "cost_per_1m_out": 5,
        "cost_per_1m_in_cached": 1.25,
        "cost_per_1m_out_cached": 0.1,
        "context_window": 200000,
        "default_max_tokens": 50000,
        "can_reason": true,
        "supports_attachments": true
      },
      {
        "id": "anthropic.claude-haiku-4-5-20251001-v1:0",
        "name": "AWS Claude Haiku 4.5",
        "cost_per_1m_in": 0.8,
        "cost_per_1m_out": 4,
        "cost_per_1m_in_cached": 1,
        "cost_per_1m_out_cached": 0.08,
        "context_window": 200000,
        "default_max_tokens": 50000,
        "can_reason": false,
        "supports_attachments": true
      }
    ]
  }
]

this limits the models to just Sonnet and Haiku 4.5 but you can copy as many provider json + models from the catwalk link above and curate your own list.
