Switch model for a subagent?

[schlick7]

I want to create a subagent to use the vision-model. Does anybody know if this is possible?

Set model in the subagent's Markdown frontmatter, for example in .qwen/agents/image-reader.md:

---
name: image-reader
description: Inspect images and explain their contents.
model: your-vision-model-id
---
Inspect the supplied image and answer the user's question about it.

Replace your-vision-model-id with a vision-capable model from your configured provider. The main conversation keeps its own model.

The current subagent model selector supports a concrete model ID, authType:model-id for an explicit provider/auth route, and inherit (also the default when omitted).

The provider endpoint must also accept the image input you supply. Reload the agent definitions or restart the CLI after editing the file, then start a new invocation of that subagent.
