### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

Bedrock models are not showing in the model picker. The only model I have selected in Settings → Models is `us.anthropic.claude-fable-5`, but the only model that shows in the model picker is `Fable 5 300K`.

### Steps to Reproduce

Connect AWS Bedrock, add `us.anthropic.claude-fable-5` as a custom model, open model picker.

### Expected Behavior

`us.anthropic.claude-fable-5` should show in the model picker in the chat input section.

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. Good news, your model is still there and you can use it right now.

Your model is still available, it just has a different name now. The “Fable 5 300K” entry in the model picker is the same `us.anthropic.claude-fable-5` model you added via Bedrock. The displayed name is now server-driven, so it can differ from the slug. Requests still go through your AWS keys, so you don’t need to change anything in settings. Just pick “Fable 5 300K” and keep working like usual.

The picker showing the display name instead of the slug is a known behavior. It’s on our radar, but there’s no ETA for bringing back the original name yet. This doesn’t affect the model working. Let me know if you can’t select “Fable 5 300K” or if requests aren’t going through.

Hey @Raman_Varma, circling back on this.

After your report, we improved how Bedrock models are labeled in the model picker. Your `us.anthropic.claude-fable-5` now shows up as “Fable 5 Bedrock (US) 300K” (and “Fable 5 Bedrock (US) 1M” when Max Mode is on), so it’s easy to tell apart from the built-in Fable 5 in Cursor.

One expectation to set: the picker shows a clear label like this, not the exact slug you configured. But it’s the same model, and requests still go through your AWS keys like before.

This was a server-side change, so you don’t need to update anything or change settings. If you still see the old label, restart Cursor to refresh it. Let me know if anything doesn’t line up.
