Environment Variable Management

  • Enhanced environment variable handling: Environment variables are now loaded from multiple sources in a hierarchical manner. The new system merges environment variables from:
  • Local settings (localSettings)
  • Project settings (projectSettings)
  • Managed settings (managedSettings)

This allows for more flexible configuration management across different scopes.

Model Support

  • Added support for Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 (October 2022 release):
  • First-party API: claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
  • AWS Bedrock: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0
  • Google Vertex: claude-3-5-sonnet-v2@20241022

The new model includes updated pricing:

  • Input tokens: $3 per million
  • Output tokens: $15 per million
  • Prompt cache write: $3.75 per million
  • Prompt cache read: $0.30 per million

Cost Tracking

  • Improved unknown model cost handling: When using models without known pricing information, the system now properly flags this with hasUnknownModelCost = true to alert users that cost calculations may be incomplete.
