Claude Code v0.2.98 ·

Dynamic Model Configuration

Entry
JSON All of v0.2.98
EntryKind: in v0.2.98,
ChangesSection of the release

The CLI now provides enhanced model selection capabilities with runtime configuration support:

  • Statsig Integration: Model configuration now integrates with Statsig for A/B testing and feature flags
  • Environment Variable Priority: The ANTHROPIC_MODEL environment variable takes precedence over other configuration methods
  • Fallback Chain: Implements a robust fallback mechanism for model selection:
  1. Check environment configuration
  2. Check process environment variable
  3. Use Statsig-provided model
  4. Fall back to default model
Example usage
# Set a specific model via environment variable
ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-3-opus-20240229 claude

# The model will persist across sessions if set in config
