2121* Per-message effort changes are in beta on Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Mythos 5.1, and Claude Opus 5 on the Claude API. Add a `role: "system"` message with `output_config.effort` inside `messages` to change effort for later turns while preserving the prompt cache. Include the `mid-conversation-output-config-2026-07-01` beta header in your requests. See [Per-message effort](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/effort#change-effort-mid-conversation-beta).
2222* [Turn-scoped system messages](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/mid-conversation-system-messages#turn-scoped-system-messages) are in beta (`mid-conversation-system-clear-at-2026-08-21` header). Set `clear_at: "next_user_message"` on a mid-conversation `role: "system"` message and it renders for the current turn only, then stays in the history at no token cost. Per-turn reminders don't accumulate and don't invalidate the prompt cache or later thinking blocks.
2323* `thinking.display` accepts a third value, `"updates"`, in beta (`thinking-display-updates-2026-08-18` header). Reasoning comes back with an empty `thinking` field, as under `"omitted"`, and the short progress updates that Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Mythos 5.1, and Claude Fable 5 write between tool calls come back as text, at most one `thinking` block before a tool call. See [Progress updates between tool calls](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/thinking#progress-updates).
24* Text generated by Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 carries Anthropic's text watermark, and supported image and video files that Claude produces through the [code execution tool](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/code-execution-tool) carry C2PA Content Credentials when you retrieve them through the [Files API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/files) on the Claude API. Marking requires no changes to your requests or response handling.
24* Text generated by Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 carries Anthropic's text watermark, and supported image, video, and audio files that Claude produces through the [code execution tool](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/code-execution-tool) carry C2PA Content Credentials when you retrieve them through the [Files API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/files) on the Claude API. Marking requires no changes to your requests or response handling.
2525* Like Claude Fable 5, both models require 30-day data retention and aren't available under zero data retention unless expressly authorized by Anthropic. See [Model-specific data retention requirements](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/api-and-data-retention#model-specific-data-retention-requirements).
2626* The guides for the Claude Enterprise endpoints of the [Admin API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/admin) ([user management](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/user-management) and [spend limits](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/spend-limits-api)), the [Claude Enterprise Analytics API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/analytics-api), and the [Compliance API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-api) now show the `anthropic-version` header; send it on every request to these endpoints, as in the rest of the Claude API. See [API versions](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning).
