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.

A redact-thinking API beta constant

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal4
API Betas

A redact-thinking API beta header constant was added to the beta list.

The constant exists; whether it is sent depends on callers elsewhere.

What

The table of API beta headers is now a plain top-level list and gained a redact_thinking entry dated 2026-02-12, alongside the existing tool search, web search and Claude Code betas. Whether that header is attached to requests depends on callers elsewhere in the bundle; the constant existing does not mean it is sent.

Evidence

Te("redact_thinking", "redact-thinking-2026-02-12")

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