aura models

List available models from the configured provider.

Syntax

aura models [flags]

Description

Lists all available models from the configured provider with optional sorting. Model visibility can be controlled per-provider using models.include and models.exclude glob patterns in the provider config.

Flags

Flag	Short	Default	Description
--sort-by		size	Sort models by: name, context, size
--filter	-f		Filter by capability (combinable): thinking, vision, tools, embedding, reranking, thinking_levels, context_override

Plus all global flags.

Examples

# List models from default provider (Ollama)
aura models

# Sort by context window size
aura models --sort-by context

# List models from specific providers
aura --providers openrouter models

# List models from multiple providers
aura --providers ollama,openrouter models

# Filter by capability
aura models --filter vision
aura models --filter thinking,vision

Note: The global --providers flag filters model listings and silently discards agents whose provider is not in the list. The chosen agent’s provider must be included — otherwise it’s a hard error. Model visibility filters in provider configs control which models appear within each provider.
