What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Claude Code has a built-in table of what each model can handle. Two things changed in it:
Family name: one entry's family is now "fable" instead of "mythos".
Image token limits: image limits now include a token budget as well as a size. That entry keeps its 2576 by 2576 pixel limit and gains max_image_tokens: 4784. The Sonnet and Haiku entries keep 1568 by 1568 pixels and gain max_image_tokens: 1568.
Why
Tokens are the units models count text and images in. A token limit per image points to images being sized or budgeted by how many tokens they use, not just by their pixel size.
