Problem or use case

The Agents panel does not consistently show which model each subagent is using.

In the attached screenshot, the agent row shows the agent name, current activity, token usage, and elapsed time, but not the model

Proposed solution

Show the actual model used by each subagent directly in its row in the Agents panel.

For example:

GPT-5.6 Luna -max

Why this matters

Model visibility makes it easier to:

  • Confirm that model overrides are working
  • Understand differences in speed and output quality
  • Debug unexpected subagent behavior
  • Compare agents when several are running concurrently

Smallest useful scope

Add a model label to every subagent row, visible while the agent is running and after it completes

Alternatives considered

Currently, the user has to inspect logs, open the child session, or ask the parent agent which model was used. These options are slower, and consume extra tokens. Pain

Risks or tradeoffs
