Claude Code v2.1.174 ·
Model Description Labels Updated
EntryKind: in v2.1.174,
ImprovementsSection of the release
The model picker descriptions have been updated to be more concise:
- Sonnet: "efficient for routine tasks"
- Opus: "best for everyday, complex tasks"
Previously Fable 5 compatibility was labeled "Opus 4.8/4.7 only"; this has been broadened to "Opus 4.7+".
Evidence
Description strings (search for "efficient for routine tasks" and "best for everyday, complex tasks")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
