Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I distribute the model through the llm gateway Bifrost, for my case, I set

ANTHROPIC_MODEL to deepseek-reasoner,
CLAUDE_MEM_MODEL to deepseek-chat.

In my case, I found that the gateway's telemetry log is all deepseek-reasoner.

Describe the solution you'd like

What is the principle of setting CLAUDE_MEM_MODEL for claude-mem?

Additional context
claude-mem version: v7.4.1
Bifrost version: v1.3.51
Bifrost also works without claude-mem version
