Chat stays Claude. Only Code becomes GPT. Claude Desktop's own setting for other models switches the whole app — chat, phone Remote Control and connectors go with it.ClaudeRipple turns nothing off: you stay signed in to your Claude subscription while GPT, DeepSeek, Kimi, Grokor 400+ other models answer in the Code tab. Claude inside the Codex app and Codex CLI too.

A one-minute tour: other models in Claude Desktop's own model menu, effort set for every prompt, and each subagent sent to the model that fits. Click for the full video.

1P, not 3P: the difference this whole project exists for

Claude Desktop already ships an official way to use other models — the inference gateway setting, what the app calls third-party or 3P mode. Turning it on is not a per-session choice. It switches the whole app into a different deployment mode at launch, and that mode is a different product:

• The window stops loading claude.ai and loads a local bundle instead. claude.ai /api/ and /v1/ calls answer custom_3p_not_available 503.
• "Chat" is no longer claude.ai chat. It is a Claude Code local-agent session.
• Remote Control and side sessions are switched off outright (shouldEnableSessionsBridge() returns false).
• Anthropic's own claude.ai connectors, Claude Design, mobile continuity and chat search go with it.

There is no middle setting. "Chat on Claude, Code on the gateway" is impossible for anyone, because 1P mode routes nothing through the gateway at all. (All of this is read out of the app's own bundle; see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md §2.)

ClaudeRipple never touches that setting. The app stays signed in to your Claude subscription in 1P mode, and another model answers in the Code tab and its subagents — under its real name in the model picker, at the reasoning effort you chose. You do not trade your Claude account for a GPT one. You keep both, in one app.

Three things follow from staying in 1P, and no gateway-based tool can offer any of them:

• Code from your phone, on GPT. Remote Control is off in 3P. It is on here, so you can pick a model and send a task from a phone and watch the commits land.
• Connectors alive while another model works. 3P stubs claude.ai calls, which takes Anthropic's own connectors with them. Read a Google Drive doc and have GPT write the code.
• Cloud and side sessions. Gone in 3P. Untouched here.

If you pay for Claude, 3P is not an option — it throws away the half of the subscription you are paying for. This is the only way to keep it and still choose the model.
