Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Startup records whether ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL actually took effect

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
Elsewhere

Startup now records whether your default-model environment variable actually won or was overridden.

ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL
What

Model resolution now reports whether the environment variable had an effect: inert when nothing resolves from it, outranked when an organisation default wins, or success otherwise.

Evidence

outranked_by_org_default

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