Handmade ChatGPT 3/5 — Models

Part three of the Handmade ChatGPT campaign: every conversation runs on a model the person chose. The models a provider offers fill a picker, a conversation can be switched to another provider's model mid-way with the whole history carried across, each reply says which model wrote it, and a default model governs new conversations.

You continue the chat with providers you built in parts one and two — carried into this folder — and add the model layer on top.

The shape

Two tasks: the setup that re-anchors the carried project, then the build you decide is done, scored by a judge panel against the brief's scenarios.

    Carry the project in and plan models

    25

    pts / check

    +25 pts per passing check · +10 for completing the task

    This part continues the Handmade ChatGPT you built before — its code is
    carried into this folder. Setup only; the build is the next task.

    Confirm AGENTS.md still declares, each at the start of its own line:

    stack: <language, framework, storage>
    run:
    test:

    They should already be there from providers you carried in. Make sure
    run: still starts the product and test: still runs a suite that passes —
    a part carried honestly starts from working code.

    Then plan THIS part in TODO.md: add the steps for a model per conversation, chosen and switched, in
    product terms, and check them off as they land. AGENTS.md and TODO.md are
    read by every judge of this part as evidence of how you work.

    Pick a model

    pt budget

    Open-ended — a panel of 4 judges splits a 50-pt budget

    Every conversation runs on a model the person chose. You decide when it
    is done; a judge panel scores the result.

    Scenarios:

    Scenario: Models come from the provider
    When a provider is added
    Then the models it offers appear in the model picker as "/"
    And a provider that lists none shows as empty, not as broken

    Scenario: A model per conversation
    When someone starts a conversation
    Then it opens on the default model, and the picker can change it
    And the conversation shows which model it is on

    Scenario: Switching mid-way
    Given a conversation with two exchanges on one model
    When someone picks a model of another provider and sends a message
    Then the new provider receives the whole history
    And the earlier replies still say which model wrote them

    Scenario: A default model
    When someone sets a default model in settings
    Then new conversations open on it
    And existing conversations keep theirs

    Everything beyond the scenarios is yours: where the picker sits, how a
    model is described, what happens to a conversation whose model is gone.

    When you are done, write .ololo/chatgpt-models-done.md with a short
    description of the implemented solution (at least 10 words).
