In that mode it now skips two things that used to run anyway:\n\n- The saved file of model capabilities is neither read nor written.\n\n- It no longer looks for an Anthropic config folder through `ANTHROPIC_CONFIG_DIR`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` or `~\/.config\/anthropic`.\n\n**Why**\n\nDiskless mode now reads and writes fewer files on disk.\n\n- Area: Diskless Mode\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
