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.

What

The table mapping short model names to full model ids was refreshed and now includes fable-5, mythos-5, opus-5 and opus-4-8 alongside the existing opus, sonnet and haiku entries. An alias being listed does not mean the model is available to your account.
