What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
--model is a flag, an option you add when starting Claude Code, that picks which model the session uses. Its help text now reads "Provide an alias for the latest model (e.g. 'fable', 'opus', or 'sonnet') or a model's full name." It no longer ends with an example full name in brackets.
Why
This is a small wording change to the help text. How --model works is the same, and it still takes either a short alias or a model's full name.
