What

Brand colouring in the model selection list now applies to the current lineup rather than a single name.

Details
  • Previously only "Opus 5" was coloured in the descriptions.
  • Now Fable 5, Mythos 5 and Sonnet 5 are coloured.
  • The registry entries claude-fable-5 and claude-mythos-5 were already present in the previous build; this is presentation only.
Evidence

"Mythos 5"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
