240 Opus models have a higher per-token price than Sonnet models, so a deployment that doesn't pin a primary model is billed at the Opus rate once it updates to v2.1.207 or later. To keep Sonnet 4.5 as the primary model, set `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` to its full model ID. A deployment that steers the default with `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` and doesn't set `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` keeps its steered Sonnet model as the default.
