Is it possible to add the option to send the model name with the requests?
Its currently already possible to use @ModelName and change with which model you are writing. The UI also reflects that.
This is really useful but causes confusion because currently the name is not visible for the llm.
Poe already does something like this.
For example I could ask Sonnet 3.5 about an idea and then write @Gpt4 what do you think about this?

I probably cant explain it well so I am providing 2 screenshots.
This would be really powerful to have.
