Claude-3p gateway model disappearing

After Antropic update claude desktop in mac to version 1.6xxx.x, there is only a legacy model in the selection bar. when you try to add models into the model list and relaunch the application. you will get an error warning about the wrong model name format.

Finally, I found the solutions to blind the model names inside claude desktop config file.

Firstly, you need to use command pip install "litellm[proxy]". Then change Gateway base URL and Gateway API key.

create new .yaml file as this template and use the command litellm --config litellm_config.yaml --port 4000

model_list:
  - model_name: claude-opus-4-7
    litellm_params:
